Celebrity Portrait Photographer- Andy Gotts MBE

Nick is back with Steve for this show, which features a guest interview with Andy Gotts, MBE. 

Andy is a renowned celebrity photographer based in London, England, and New York, USA. He is most noted for his black and white portraits of Hollywood actors and singers. His work has been published internationally and has appeared in many magazines, including: VOGUE, GQ, Vanity Fair, Empire, Total Film, Entertainment Weekly, FHM, Hello!, and Glamour, and many more. 

Andy tells Nick and Steve many fascinating stories of being behind the lens, photographing many of the most famous faces in the world. He also recounts how plucking up the courage as a student to ask Stephen Fry if he could take his photograph has let to over 30 years of celebrity photography. 

Steve and Nick also look back on The Photography Show, held for the first time in London, and Nick tells Steve why he bought a Fujifilm XT5 and two lenses at the show. Steve lusts after the new Fujifilm GFX100RF! The book of the week is from Nashville based photographer and friend of the show Jay Farrell, a self published look at Route 66 Roadscapes.
