Herb Ritts L.A. Style

Herb Ritts L.A. Style documentary provides an intimate look into the life and times of Mr. Ritts via interviews with his subjects and collaborators. The stunning exhibit is currently on display at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles through September 2, 2012.

Herb Ritts (1952--2002) fashioned himself into one of the top photographers to emerge from the 1980s. Ritts' aesthetic incorporated facets of life in and around Los Angeles. He often made use of the bright California sunlight to produce bold contrasts, and his preference for outdoor locations such as the desert and the beach helped to separate his work from that of his New York-based peers.

No doubt Herb was in a class by himself. One can only imagine what his works of art will fetch in the coming decades. There is no one even close to his style today and over time more are beginning to realize this.

I knew Herb when he lived in New Mexico and drove a Winnabego for one of his shoots with Meg Ryan.
