More About This Book

Overview

2011 USA Best Book Awards to Anne Geddes!

Beginnings Hardcover book 1st place Photography: General
Beginnings E-Book 1st Place E-Book: Non-Fiction

Award-winning photographer Anne Geddes founded a new tradition in visual storytelling and captivated an international audience. Now, after spending 12 months photographing, Anne reveals a range of images that are, in her own words, among the most personally rewarding she has ever created. A beautiful gift book with more than 140 never-before-published photographs, BEGINNINGS will be released worldwide on 10.10.10 in countries including, the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand.
“I have always been fascinated by elements of nature at the moment of transformation,” comments Anne. “Babies are the human face of beginnings, but all of nature is caught in this insistent stream of seasons, of aging and rebirth, of concealment and bursting forth. Every time I unwrap a newborn, even after all these years of photographing them, I am aware of the miracle before me. This book, Beginnings, took me on a journey of discovery to reveal these everyday miracles of nature, these complementary wonders, in imagery.”
Continuing in the tradition that has made her one of the most sought-after and popular photographers in the world, in BEGINNINGS, Anne Geddes presents the simple and elegant elements of nature as we have never seen them before. With her camera, she has conceived a fresh story about the delicate and powerful mystery of new life that will inspire nature lovers just as surely as her images of babies have captured the imaginations of people around the globe. She reveals the intricate beauty of birds’ nests, the delicacy of eggs, and the glorious color hidden inside the tight, unopened petals of a blossom before it blooms. Then, she expands on her visual metaphor to reveal surprising and illuminating juxtapositions of beginnings in floral and human forms.
Once again, Anne Geddes draws our eye to celebrate those treasures worth nurturing and protecting. Told in a language of love that is understood by so many cultures and people of all ages, BEGINNINGS is sure to transcend boundaries, as her other internationally bestselling books have done.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

"I've always been fascinated by elements of nature at the moment of transformation. Babies are the human face of beginnings, but all of nature is caught in this insistent stream of seasons, of aging and rebirth, of concealment and breaking forth. Every time I unwrap a newborn, even after all these years of photographing them, I am aware of the miracle before me." Anne Geddes' Beginnings records the everyday miracles of nature. Life-breathing images. Editor's recommendation.

Library Journal
Geddes is a one-woman cottage industry, creating numerous books, calendars, and a line of baby clothes. This volume in her self-published line of books depicting women and babies, described by the publisher as "a beautiful gift book," is elegantly produced with photographs ranging from the eloquent to the trite, the imaginative to the kitschy—some may produce a smile but none is really captivating. Her reportedly 18 million books sold may be attributed to marketing and the universality of the topic. This book is being released in conjunction with a film about her creative process, so it could almost be thought of as a trailer for a coming attraction. VERDICT The theme is universal and the appeal unquestionable, but once the reader has finished the first look through this volume, it is time to gift it on its way. Not a necessary purchase for any library but a good Mother's Day gift.—Paula Frosch, Metropolitan Museum of Art Lib., New York

    Beautifully done!

    I own several of Anne's books and have to say that this is one of my favorites. She has really taken her imagery to a new level with 'Beginning's'. I enjoy how she shows not only the image of the baby or mother, but also the thing that inspired that image, be it a nest, bulb or seed. It truly is a beautiful work of art!
