Herb Ritts Quotes

I like form and shape and strength in pictures Picture Quote #1

I think knowing people by first names, not by what they do sexually, is really what it’s about. Not being afraid. Fear is the enemy. I’ve always been comfortable with being gay Picture Quote #1

I think a lot of the time these days people are so concerned about having the right camera and the right film and the right lenses and all the special effects that go along with it, even the computer, that they’re missing the key element Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Being an American is about having the right to be who you are. Sometimes that doesn’t happen Picture Quote #1

That’s why I felt so at home when I went to Africa. It didn’t matter that I was halfway around the world in a foreign country, because all those elements are universal. and I think that’s one thing about my work: It’s universal Picture Quote #1

I’m pretty selective. I generally edit the contact sheets and then do work prints. Because I have my own lab and printers, I can afford the luxury of going through the contact sheets for black-and-white, making up work prints, seeing them big, and honing them down Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I always enjoyed art history because, growing up in California, my exposure was limited, and it was a new experience. To learn the history of art opened up certain things to me, made me see. It intrigued me Picture Quote #1

When you start out, you’re not really aware. I didn’t have a sense of photographic history Picture Quote #1

I abstract it in my photographs: I like large planes and spaces, areas of texture and light, like deserts or oceans or monumental places Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Even though I didn’t get a business degree, I enjoyed learning about economics Picture Quote #1

It’s important to let your subjects be themselves Picture Quote #1

I was an economics major, which I enjoyed because I had a good business sense Picture Quote #1

I think knowing people by first names, not by what they do sexually, is really what it’s about. Not being afraid. Fear is the enemy. I’ve always been comfortable with being gay Picture Quote #1

For me, the most important thing I learned was just honing my eye. I think I had a good eye Picture Quote #1

Each time I did assignments or editorials, I realized that I wanted to do something more. I saw that it wasn’t just about the clothes Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Regardless of whether you speak the language or are familiar with a culture, the picture should hold up Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think a lot of the time these days people are so concerned about having the right camera and the right film and the right lenses and all the special effects that go along with it, even the computer, that they’re missing the key element Picture Quote #1

Actually, when I first started dabbling in photography, I was still working for my parents as a salesman Picture Quote #1
