Herb Ritts began his photographic career in the late 70’s and gained a reputation as a master of art and commercial photography. In addition to producing portraits and editorial fashion for Vogue, Vanity Fair, Interview and Rolling Stone, Ritts also created successful advertising campaigns for Calvin Klein, Chanel, Gianni Versace, Giorgio Armani, among others. Starting in 1988, he directed numerous influential and award winning music videos and commercials. His fine art photography has been the subject of exhibitions worldwide, with works residing in many significant public and private collections.
His pictures feature many celebrities like David Bowie, Johnny Depp,... But the most interesting pictures are his more experimental ones. He shows the models in a way they become unhuman. Therefor his pictures are very intruiging and alienating.
