Andy Gotts The Photograph

Coffee table book 'Andy Gotts The Photograph'

A 90-second shoot with Stephen Fry in 1989 launched the career of Andy Gotts, photographer to the stars. Through cunning and talent, Gotts has become one of the most in-demand celebrity photographers in Hollywood, British media and the music industry. Gotts' dramatic black-and-white style transforms faces into works of art of shadow and light, while his color portraits capture the ineffable humanity of his subjects.

"Andy's contact sheets make us feel like a VIP pass to spend time with his subjects. We see their beauty, their flaws, charisma, humanity and even a peek into their thoughts and process. We see the person in these people and are touched by their essence." Kylie Minogue

In the coffee table book "Andy Gotts The Photograph," English photographer Andy Gotts reveals the incredible depth of his archive and showcases his most recent photographs. Leafing through the photo book, it seems that Gotts has truly had every celebrity in front of his lens and got them all laughing. The fun radiates off the pages.

"Andy Gotts lets his subjects shine through mostly untouched. His artistry does not come after the fact, in Photoshop and all the so-called flattering tricks technology has taught us to expect. His skill is in every image, every moment, in the relationship he has built with his portrayed subjects, no matter how briefly they have been together, and the trust he has instilled in them simply because he is a good person. Everyone who meets him immediately feels his openness and kindness, and I think this book is especially a testament to those qualities." Alan Cumming

" With this great book, you will see why Andy is as much a star as his subjects." Gene Simmons
