Kate Moss Contact Sheet

Andy Gotts:

"There’s a few people you meet who you want to be exactly as you’ve always imagined them. I went to Kate Moss’s house at 10.30 in the morning, and she answered the door with a glass of white wine and a cigarette in her hand. That’s exactly how you want to be greeted by Kate Moss.

When you meet her, she’s so normal. She’s been photographed a million times, and retouched a million times. But with this shoot she knew it was going to be unedited — and she didn’t care one bit. She liked that. She knew she had wrinkles and spots and stretch marks. She looks her age, which is great. I don’t want Kate Moss to look 20. I want her to look in her 40s — that’s the reality. Maybe you can see furrow lines and crow’s feet and a bruise. But that’s all her".
