Christopher Kilkus on Photographer Herb Ritts

Born in California in 1952, Herb Ritts (1952–2002) grew up in the glamorous Beverly Hills and got his start helping his friend, Richard Gere, get into show-business. As the famous anecdote goes, Ritts wasn’t sure where he was headed in his career and happened to snap a shot of his friend, Gere, while changing a tire. That picture landed in Vogue, Esquire, and Elle, earning Ritts his first checks as a photographer.

Shortly after his unconventional start in photography, Ritts became a sought-after artist. His work appeared on the covers of Vanity Fair, Vogue, GQ, Harper’s Bazaar, Rolling Stone and Interview. He worked with fashion designers Gianni Versace and Ralph Lauren on fashion spreads for magazines. Ritts also was a part of several successful advertising campaigns, including Revlon, Donna Karan, the Gap, and Calvin Klein.
