Biography: 
1952 Born in Brentwood CA. (US)
HERB RITTS is a self-taught photographer
graduated with a major in economics from Bard College in 1974.
he began his photographic career in the seventies working among the hollywood stars.
He also worked with some of the most important Italian newspapers until the beginning of the eighties.
Nude is the main theme of Ritts`s images: models, muscular men, athletes, African women, bodies that express force, sensuality and beauty, sometimes wrapped up in veils, sometimes covered by sand.
The pictures of world`s personalities of the movies and the fashion are also very famous: Richard Gere, Elizabeth Taylor, Jack Nicholson, Madonna, Cindy Crawford and many others.
Wonderful and breathless nudes of some athletes of the Olympic Games of Atlanta 1996 had caused a incredible audience.
Among the many photographic books he published we should pay a special attention to: "Duo ", " Herb Ritts: Work ", "Africa " and " Men, Women ".
