“A new book by UK ‘photographer to the stars’ Andy Gotts shows off a wild collection of contact sheets featuring celebrities in seemingly unfiltered, unguarded moments — often with shockingly elastic faces and in body-baring poses."" - Eric Hegedus, New York Post ""The star-studded images are one thing, but their candid context is what makes them special."" - Joy Ling, Esquire Singapore ""As his new book of portraits, The Photograph, shows, 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 ""A new book, Andy Gotts The Photograph, is a compilation of celebrity photographs that bring out their personality and their humour. It does so by showing us the contact sheets from which the final image was chosen."" - Teddy Jamieson, The Herald ""Is there any celebrity that lensman Gotts hasn't captured on camera? Pretty much anyone you can think of is here including fashion models (Claudia Schiffer, Elle MacPherson), handsome hunks (Harrison Ford, Matt Damon), Oscar winners (Meryl Streep, Al Pacino) and Hollywood legends (Paul Newman, Kirk Douglas)."" - Daniel Bubbeo, Newsday ""Though you may not be familiar with his name, a compelling new compendium of his work, Andy Gotts: The Photograph, published by ACC Art Books, makes clear that you should get acquainted."" - Maxim Magazine ""The book, The Photograph, is designed to capture this working process, showing contact sheets which reveal the progress of the sessions."" - Arts & Collections
