Andy gotts photography shows how he uses close ups and how he shows peoples expressions and there moods and possibly there lifestyle and interests. He is most noted for his black and white portraits of Hollywood actors. Gotts' recent project is based around the history of the savoy hotel, London, England.
In December 2007 the savoy hotel is being closed down for two years for a total revamp. Gotts spent a period of time photographing different rooms and items from the hotel, with each image containing a celebrity to highlight the glamorous lifestyle of the Savoy; but none of the celebrities have been named in the project as it is the Savoy that is the star of the photography and the celebrities are just props used to decorate the rooms or anecdotes. Normally it is the celebrities that are the main feature of Gotts' photographs; so it was fantastic to view the famous people as only supporting artists to the Savoy's leading part.
