Renowned photographer Andy Gotts MBE has produced portraits of more than one hundred actors and actresses who have won or been nominated for a Bafta since 1954. The project has been over two years in the making. Gotts has travelled across the world in order to photograph subjects including Lauren Bacall, Jeff Bridges, Daniel Day-Lewis, Al Pacino, John Hurt, Sidney Poitier and Tilda Swinton. The quirky portraits are on show in a free exhibition called Behind the Mask at Somerset House in London, until 7 February 2014.
