Herb Ritts

"Well, I liked it - that was the main thing. I liked it, but I didn't think of it in terms of a career. I didn't really know; I didn't really think about it. One thing just led to another until finally I quit my job as a salesman and found myself working as a photographer."

"I earned a mater's degree in journalism and took the first job offered, as a sports writer. Instead of chasing my own fame, I wrote about famous athletes chasing theirs."

"I should never have been happy in any profession that did not call forth the highest intellectual strain, and yet keep me in good warm contact with my neighbors. There is nothing like the medical profession for that: one can have the exclusive scientific life that touches the distance and befriend the old fogie in the parish too."

Career

Quote_1.png
Herb Ritts
"Many people who excel are self-taught."

People

Quote_1.png
Herb Ritts
"The education, the cultural awareness, is different in Europe, especially in France, from that in the United States. So I think the public will be much more appreciative of many images."

Education

Quote_1.png
Herb Ritts
"Within two hours of where I live, you have mountains and desert as location. I like the natural elements that abstract into light, texture, shape and shadow."

Photography

Quote_1.png
Herb Ritts
"When you start out, you're not really aware. I didn't have a sense of photographic history."

History

Quote_1.png
Herb Ritts
"Generally, the French highly promote culture and the arts, and photography is in their blood."

Blood

Herb Ritts
"Regardless of whether you speak the language or are familiar with a culture, the picture should hold up."

Cultural

Quote_1.png
Herb Ritts
"Once you develop your own style, you know when you're able to give your best. Feeling at home is part of it, and I don't think that's an L.A. thing. It's a matter of the environment and of what affects you."

Home

Quote_1.png
Herb Ritts
"I'd go down to the end of my street, to a garage that had a certain feeling about it, or a particular light; I'd take a picture of a friend who needed a head shot. That's how I learned, instead of having school assignments and learning camera techniques."

Friendship

Quote_1.png
Herb Ritts
"I did grow up next door to Steve McQueen, who was a very famous movie star at the time, but as a kid it didn't impress me. We always had great fun with him. He would take us out on Sundays on his motorcycles, riding around in the desert; he was like a second father."
