Anne Geddes kann auf eine internationale und jahrzehntelange Karriere zurückblicken – Kreativität spielt in ihrem Leben additionally eine ziemlich große Rolle. Ihre berühmten Bilder haben Bestseller-Bücher und Kalender in über 84 Ländern geziert.
Annes Karriere hat es ihr auch ermöglicht, eine globale Botschafterin für die United Nations Basis und March of Dimes zu werden, mit beiden Wohltätigkeitsorganisationen hat sie Fotokampagnen realisiert. Vor Kurzem hat sie beschlossen, sich mit ihrer Neighborhood über Patreon zu verbinden. Wir haben uns mit Anne unterhalten, um mehr über ihre Karriere und Leidenschaften zu erfahren. Und weil wir neugierig waren, warum ein Mitglied der Worldwide Images Corridor of Fame beschlossen hat, auf Patreon aktiv zu werden.
Für Anne, die sich selbst als Geschichtenerzählerin bezeichnet, verkörpern Babys „pure Freude” in einer Welt, in der diese manchmal fehlt. Mit dem Wunsch, die Gutherzigkeit und Unschuld von Kindern einzufangen, eröffnete Anne 1988 ihr erstes Porträtstudio in Neuseeland, in dem nur vier Jahre später Grußkarten und Kalender entstanden sind. Die Markteinführung dieser Produkte conflict erfolgreich und begründete ihre Karriere als Kuratorin von gedruckten Märchen mit ihren ikonischen Fotografien. Diese brachten ihr mehrere New York Occasions-Bestseller ein.
Die Artwork und Weise, wie wir Bilder konsumieren, hat sich seit Annes ersten Veröffentlichungen erheblich verändert. Jeder Technologiesprung hat die Nachfrage nach gedruckten Produkten sinken lassen und es gleichzeitig für Anne schwierig gemacht, ihre Arbeit vor der Weitergabe und Vervielfältigung im Web zu schützen. Das Zeitalter des Internets bedeutete für Anne, dass sie nicht nur ihre Kreativität, sondern auch ihr Geschäftsmodell weiterentwickeln musste.
„[Das Internet] hat mich sehr beeinflusst, wenn ich ehrlich bin. Meine ganze Arbeitsweise wurde komplett auf den Kopf gestellt. Ich mache non-public Porträts, aber das ist nicht wirklich das, was meiner Geschichte entspricht. In den Jahren vor dem Web hatte ich das große Glück, mir meine eigene Branche zu schaffen und meine eigene Geschichte zu erzählen. Und die Leute liebten das.”
Mit dem Großwerden des Internets und der neuen Leichtigkeit, digitale Bilder zu teilen, wurde es für Anne unmöglich, die beträchtlichen Produktionskosten für einige ihrer liebsten kreativen Projekte zu rechtfertigen. Zwar bereitete ihr das Einfangen von einzigartigen Porträts Freude, aber es gab einfach keine vernünftige Möglichkeit mehr, ihre Bilder zu verkaufen und sie gleichzeitig vor unrechtmäßiger Weitergabe zu schützen.
Anstatt daran zu verzweifeln, beschloss Anne, die Macht des Internets für sich zu nutzen und neue Wege zu finden, um ihre Arbeit direkt mit ihren Followers zu teilen – so stieß sie auf Patreon.
Anne hatte sich über die Jahrzehnte eine immer größer werdende Fangemeinschaft aufgebaut, trotzdem hatte sie nie so recht die Möglichkeit, mit ihren Followers auf einer persönlichen Ebene zu interagieren. Sie ist sich bewusst, dass das Dasein als kreativer Mensch von Natur aus isolierend sein kann, immerhin gibt es meistens keine Interaktionen und Unterstützung, wie es in einer traditionellen Büroumgebung der Fall ist.
“Ich glaube, dass die Öffentlichkeit verstehen muss, dass Kreative kreieren, weil es ihre Bestimmung ist. Nicht wahr? Sie kreieren nicht des Geldes wegen und genau deshalb werden sie schnell ausgenutzt.”
Während das Web Annes Geschäftsmodell einmal komplett über den Haufen geworfen hat, bot es ihr auch die Möglichkeit, mit Followers in Kontakt zu treten, die sie nicht in ihrem Studio besuchen konnten. Mit mehr als 75.000 Follower*innen auf Instagram wusste Anne, wo und wer ihre Followers waren, sie musste nur die eine Brücke schlagen und einen Weg finden, damit ihre Followers mehr tun konnten als nur durch ihre Bilder zu scrollen und auf „Folgen” und „Gefällt mir” zu klicken. Jetzt, da ihre Patreon-Seite on-line ist, hat sie sich fest vorgenommen, die gleiche Unterstützung zu finden, die sie zu Beginn ihrer Karriere erfahren hat.
„Ich glaube, dass die Öffentlichkeit verstehen muss, dass Kreative kreieren, weil es ihre Bestimmung ist. Nicht wahr? Sie kreieren nicht des Geldes wegen und genau deshalb werden sie schnell ausgenutzt”, sagt Anne. „Wenn man kreativ ist, dann doch deshalb, weil man sich selbst verwirklicht. Jetzt habe ich die Hoffnung, dass ich genug Patrons bekomme, zurück ins Studio gehe und die Dinge wieder zum Laufen bringen kann.”
Anfang des Jahres schloss sich Anne einer Gruppe an, die sich beim Justizausschuss des US-Senats für die Verabschiedung des CASE Acts einsetzte. Das Ziel dieser Gesetzgebung ist, es für Künstler*innen und Kreative einfacher, effizienter und kostengünstiger zu machen, die eigene Arbeit vor Raubkopien oder Diebstahl zu schützen und zu verteidigen.
Es Kreativen leichter zu machen, von dem leben zu können, was sie erschaffen, ist eine wichtige Aufgabe für Anne. Obwohl sie dieses neue Kapitel mit Patreon gerade erst begonnen hat, nutzt sie ihre Erfahrung bereits, um anderen Kreativen in ihrer Scenario Ratschläge zu geben.
“Es kommt darauf an, was man teilt und ob man Freude auf der Reise hat. Wenn du nicht authentisch bist und deine Reise als Kreative*r nicht genießen kannst, dann wirst du dich überhaupt nicht entwickeln.”
„Schau nicht zu sehr darauf, was andere Leute tun. Es muss aus dir selbst kommen. Ich kann einfach Anne Geddes sein, weil meine Patrons genau das von mir erwarten. Teile so viel von dir wie möglich. Wenn du Patrons hast, die dich unterstützen, dann tun sie das deshalb, weil sie an dem interessiert sind, was du tust. Sie mögen, was du machst und sie wollen sich als Teil deiner Familie fühlen. Es spielt keine Rolle, ob du fünf oder 21.000 Patrons hast”, erklärt Anne. „Es kommt darauf an, was man teilt und ob man Freude auf der Reise hat. Wenn du nicht authentisch bist und deine Reise als Kreative*r nicht genießen kannst, dann wirst du dich überhaupt nicht entwickeln. Es muss aus deinem Inneren kommen. Es kann schwer sein, Vertrauen in sich selbst zu finden, wenn man gerade erst als Kreative*r anfängt, aber deine Patrons können dir genau dieses Selbstvertrauen geben.”
