Herb Ritts

Herb Ritts started his photographing career in the 1970's. He's famous for his portraits, his fashion shots in Vogue, he's also successful for advertising campaigns e.g. Calvin Klein, Giorgio Armani, Valentino and lots more, but all relating to fashion. He says that his style of arts is clean lines and strong forms, to me this meant that his photos are self explanatory, his photos say what they mean.I really like the edgy look that Herb Ritts captures in his photographs. The reason why I find his photos interesting is how he captures his models styles through their faces. I like how perfect everything looks in his photos, makeup, skin etc. I supposed that that's helped through the harsh lighting thats used.

He styles his models to make them pose and look sexy, he's done this through the outfits, the makeup, and the mise en scene. They are at a theatre setting by the looks of it, making them seem glamourus and also old fashioned. It seems like the type of photos that you would find in a a catelogue or Vogue, or even photos used for art.
