Herb Ritts The Golden Hour – A Photographer’s Life and His World; by Charles Churchward; Rizzoli, New York, 2010. First printing. From the blurb - At the time of his death in 2002, Herb Ritts was among the most celebrated photographers in celebrity portraiture, fashion, and contemporary fine art imagery as well as a director of advertising and music videos. During a career that spanned nearly thirty years, he was virtually in a league of his own in terms of style and productivity. Ritts was Hollywood royalty, as were his closest friends and the subjects he photographed. This book reveals for the first time the personal aspects of Ritt’s world, work, and legacy. The book includes many never-before-seen photographs and scores of interviews from business associates, curators, staff, companions, and family, such as Cindy Crawford, Elton John, Anna Wintour, Madonna, k.d. Lang, Kevin Costner, Christopher Buckley, Annie Leibovitz, and Richard Gere, among others. The book includes images from Ritt’s personal archive – behind the scenes at photo shoots, parties, travels, intimate portraits, and moments with friends – along with nots and contact sheets that give you a glimpse into the creative process and his best-known iconic images. This large format book, 319 pages measuring 278mm X 215mm is in fine condition in a near-fine dust jacket that is now in a protective mylar wrap. This large volume may require additional postage.…
