Herb Ritts: I'd take a picture of a friend who needed a head shot
"I'd go down to the end of my street, to a garage that had a certain feeling about it, or a particular light. I'd take a picture of a friend who needed a head shot. That's how I learned, instead of having school assignments and learning camera techniques."
~Herb Ritts
Herb Ritts (1952 –2002) , probably the greatest master of celebrity and beauty photography, convinced us all that the stars, the supermodels and even statesmen , were part of our everyday world.
Images that are dramatic,intimate and spontaneous. Herb’s groundbreaking approach is still the standard to which others aspire .
