Some of the most famous people in the world posed for Herb Ritts celebrity portrait photography, and rightfully so, since Ritts was perhaps the best in his field. The incredibly talented beauty, lifestyle, and celebrity photographer died at 50, in 2002, but during the course of his life and career, which began in the early eighties, he took pictures of numerous notables, including, but not limited to Brooke Shields, Olivia Newton-John, Diana Ross, Christopher Reeve, Belinda Carlisle, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Michael Jordan, Dalai Lama, Mikhail Gorbachev, Francesco Clemente, George Clooney, Cher, Mel Gibson, Elizabeth Taylor, Brad Pitt, Ronald Reagan, Julia Roberts, Steven Hawking, Nicole Kidman, Edward Norton, Tom Cruise, Michelle Pfeiffer, Dizzy Gillespie, Elton John, Annette Benning, Antonio Banderas, Richard Gere, Jack Nicholson, Cindy Crawford, and Tina Turner. His fashion and nude photos of supermodel Cindy Crawford are still famous to this day—and that’s no wonder, if only you check out a few of them below.
