This intimate look into Geddes's (Down in the Garden) 25-year photography career begins with her childhood growing up on a ranch in the Australian outback and continues through her early twenties, when she meets her husband and decides to explore a career as a portrait photographer. Geddes may seem to have burst onto the photographic scene, but in reality, as this book illustrates, her progress toward excellence and recognition was slow and steady. Page after page of beautiful photographs attests to the originality, creativity, and technical excellence that has set Geddes apart from other artists in the field of baby photography. Here, she shares her frustrations, joys, and triumphs; describes her techniques; and follows up with the subjects of some of her most iconic images. Highly recommended for all libraries.
