Herb Ritt: The Elegant Photography of Masculine Glamour »
Posted By Disembedded 3 months, 1 week ago in Arts & EntertainmentHerb Ritt began his photographic career in the late 1970s, quickly gaining a reputation as a master of art and commercial photography. In addition to producing portraits and editorial fashion shoots for a wide range of popular magazines, Ritt also created a large number of successful advertising campaigns. After 1988, he also directed numerous influential, award winning music videos and commercials. His fine art photography has been the subject of worldwide exhibitions, and many significant public and private collections hold his works. Portraiture of the nude physique is the main theme of Herb Ritt’s imagery: models, muscular men, athletes, bodies that express force, sensuality and beauty. Perhaps more than any other photographer of his generation, Ritt redefined masculine glamour with his notoriously on-the-edge images of modern-day Adonises, whose highly muscular physiques he adoringly mythologized in his photographic studies. This article includes a number of Ritt's stunning photographs of those masculine, glamorous and very muscular men, a video of his work and a sensual photo-gallery of Ritt's on-the-edge portraits of modern-day masculine beauties.
