The best portrait photographers often aren't just skilled in the art of photography. Often they also have a knack for making their subjects feel comfortable enough to be themselves and perhaps even be vulnerable for the camera.
London-based photographer Andy Gotts is known for his portraits of celebrities. In this series, Gotts gets celebrities to let their guards down enough to make spontaneous goofy faces and poses during the shoot. The result is endearing and makes these stars appear as what they are — human.
