About the work
Clint Eastwood
Andy Gotts:
"It took a very long while to set up the shoot with Clint, as he really do not like photo shoots. But we finally locked in a day for me to shoot him at the Warner Brothers Studio lot in Burbank, California. As I have wanted to shoot Clint for so long I already had the shot I wanted etched into the back of my mind...each time I closed my eyes I could see the exact shot I wanted. I could see in my mind’s eye this hard lit shot, lots of shadow...and his 'Dirty Harry', or ‘The Man With No Name’ glare...as if he was seconds away from drawing his gun.
He walked into the studio and was such a lovely soft spoken gentleman; and I spoke to him about my concept for the shot. He sat in the exact position I wanted and the lighting was perfect...but he was smiling. I said loudly...’Clint give me Harry!’ Instantly this look came into his eyes and he thinned his lips...SNAP...that was my shot".
