Herb Ritts (1952-2002) was a Los Angeles-based photographer who built an international reputation with distinctive images of photographic models, nudes and celebrity portraits.
Herb Ritts (1952-2002) is considered one of the most important photographers of the 1980s and had a distinctive sense of style. The coffee table book "Herb Ritts: L.A. Style" outlines the life and career of the iconic photographer through a compelling selection of famous and previously unpublished photographs.
Herb Ritts had the ability to switch seamlessly between his personal work, which helped revitalize the male nude genre, and his commercial photography featuring fashion and portraiture. His work is infused with the overpowering elegance that characterizes his photographs. The Los Angeles-based photographer built an international reputation with his striking and innovative images of photographic models, nudes and celebrities.
Ritts was largely self-taught and developed his own style, one that often made use of the California light and landscape and helped distinguish his work from that of his colleagues in New York. In the 1980s and 1990s, Ritts was asked by the leading fashion designers of the time, including Armani, Gianfranco Ferrè, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Valentino and Versace, as well as magazine editors from GQ, Interview, Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair to add glamour to their products and layouts.
At the height of his fame, Ritts ushered in the era of the "supermodel" with his unforgettable portraits of Naomi Campbell, Tatjana Patitz, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista and Cindy Crawford, among others, which beautifully depict female strength and beauty.
