Note du spécialiste

One of the world's sought-after celebrity photographers, Gorman approaches his subjects with a stylised photographic purism, using minimal sets, hard lighting, and strong contrasts, to allow for the unmasking of celebrity while still preserving the essence of revered stardom. He remarks, 'For me a photograph is most successful when it doesn't answer all the questions, and it leaves something to be desired.' (in Perspectives, p.21)
