Puttn' On the Ritts

In 1979, Lucite-fumiture sales rep Herb Ritts began snapping his friend Richard Gere. Within months, Gere's acting career took off and Ritts's sexy black-and-white photos began to appear in Vogue and other magazines. Now the new Herb Ritts Pictures (Twelvetrees Press) and four upcoming exhibitions demonstrate that today everyone from the Dalai Lama to Madonna will sit for Ritts.
