"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. His
artistry does not come afterwards, in Photoshop and all the
supposedly flattering trickery technology has taught us to expect.
His skill is there in each frame, each moment, in the relationship
he has built with his sitter, no matter how short a time they have
shared, and the trust he has engendered in them because he is,
quite simply, a good man. Anyone who encounters him can sense
immediately his openness and kindness and I think this book is most
of all a testament to those qualities." Alan Cumming " With this
amazing book, you will see why Andy is as much a star as his
subjects." Gene Simmons A 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-while style turns faces into artworks of shadow
and light, while his colour portraits capture his subjects'
ineffable humanity. For the first time Andy Gotts reveals the
incredible depth of his archive, showing his most famous portraits
and many rare images alongside. The book focuses on Andy's contact
sheets, which reveal the process behind capturing the perfect
image. Accompanying texts from Andy shed light on his craft and
delve into the stories behind these captivating photographs. This
really is the definitive, career spanning book, produced to the
highest standards. The book also contains personal testaments from
a cross-section of the celebrities who Gotts has worked with: Alan
Cumming, Gene Simmons, Ian McKellen, Jeff Bridges, Kylie Minogue,
Michael Caine, Peter Capaldi and Simon Pegg.
