b. 1971, United Kingdom
One of only a select few to be awarded an MBE for his services to photography, Andy Gotts has spent the past three decades photographing some of the world’s most famous faces. Renowned for his monochromatic portraits of celebrities, Andy has captured everyone from Robert De Niro to Meryl Streep, Al Pacino to Nicole Kidman. Often photographing his subjects in their own home, Andy’s signature style shows the sitters at their most relaxed. Creating intimate unedited or airbrushed images that frequently display a certain vulnerability or humility, Andy’s images have been featured in Vogue, GQ, and Vanity Fair, to name just a few. He also has a selection of photographs in the permanent collection of The National Portrait Gallery.
