Description
Herb Ritts began his photographic career in the late 70's. Initially, he shot informal portraits of friends in the movie industry, and since gained a reputation as a master photographer of artists, athletes, political figures, actors, musicians and fashion personalities. In addition to working in the editorial field for publications like Vogue, Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone, Ritts directed numerous music videos and commercials, and created memorable advertising campaigns for Giorgio Armani, Chanel, Donna Karan, Gianni Versace, Calvin Klein, Polo Ralph Lauren and others. His fine art photography has been the subject of solo exhibitions in Los Angeles, New York, London, Boston, Vienna, Hamburg, Rome, Tokyo and Milan.
Ritts was drawn to clean lines and strong forms. This graphic simplicity allowed his images to be read and felt instantaneously. Social history and fantasy were both captured and created by Ritts' memorable photographs.
As a charter member on the Board of Directors for The Elton John Aids Foundation, Ritts committed himself to AIDS related charities, but he also contributed to many other charitable causes, among them Project Angel Food, AMFAR, Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, APA/LA, Best Buddies and Special Olympics.
