Herb
1978 fotografierte der Möbelverkäufer Herb Ritts während einer Reifenpanne seinen Freund, den damals unbekannten Schauspieler Richard Gere. "Ich schickte Gere dann die Negative und vergaß die Sache", erzählt Ritts heute. "Was wusste ich schon? Ich war schließlich kein Fotograf." Richard Gere war von den Fotos so begeistert, dass er sie seinem Agenten gab. Drei Monate später erschienen die Bilder in den damals wichtigsten Magazinen wie "Vogue" und "Esquire". Bald darauf ließ "Mademoiselle" anfragen, ob Ritts nicht Brooke Shields oder Elizabeth Taylor fotografieren wolle. "Ich habe denen nicht gesagt, dass ich kein Fotograf bin."

Herb is dead
The elegance and sensuality of Herb Ritts' vision pervades his portraits and fashion studies as well as his nudes. His art is an evocation of glamour and sleek, refined beauty. Ritts fuses the classical traditions of photography with a flesh modern idiom.

Based in Los Angeles, Herb Ritts is very much an image maker for our time, a photographer whose assured eye, fertile imagination, and affirmative spirit translate our culture's dreams and desires into strong, memorable pictures.
