Herb Ritts and the L.A. Style

Just because you didn’t get to go to that awesome photography conference doesn’t mean that you can’t learn something from the pros! Occasionally, we’ll be featuring a recommended photography lecture or interview on Phototuts+.

Herb Ritts was an American fashion, beauty and style photographer based in Los Angeles. He lighting techniques are iconic for the era and time period of his work. It is often imitated, but rarely matched. In this interview with his friends and subjects, you get a look at what made his work so desirable.
