ANDY GOTTS: THE PHOTOGRAPH

"The star-studded images are one thing, but their candid context is what makes them special." – Joy Ling, Esquire Singapore"...many famous names have stepped in front of his camera, captured quickly in his distinctive, clean style, with the images featuring in magazines and newspapers, galleries and exhibitions, and even earning him an MBE from Queen Elizabeth II for services of his photography." – Chris Anderson, Air Magazine"Andy’s contact-sheets give us what feels like a VIP pass to spend time with his subjects. We see their beauty, their flaws, charisma, humanity and even a glimpse into their thoughts and process. We see the person in these people and are touched by their being." Kylie Minogue"Above all Andy Gotts allows his subjects to shine through, untouched." Alan Cumming" With this amazing book, you will see why Andy is as much a star as his subjects.” Gene SimmonsA 90-second shoot with Stephen Fry in 1989 launched the career of Andy Gotts, photographer to the stars. Through grift and graft and raw, honed talent, Gotts has become one of the most in-demand celebrity photographers working the circuits of Hollywood, British media, and the music industry. Gotts’s dramatic black-and-white style turns faces into artworks of shadow and light, while his colour portraits capture his subjects’ ineffable humanity.
