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.

More From Herb Ritts

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.

To Me It's Just Going For The Moment That Counts. Sometimes, I'll Have All The Elements There, And I Like To Play And Push Something, And To Me, In The End, You Do Achieve Things That You're Not Aware Of In The Beginning, Even Though You're There Trying To Get Them.

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.

Black And White

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.

I Abstract It In My Photographs: I Like Large Planes And Spaces, Areas Of Texture And Light, Like Deserts Or Oceans Or Monumental Places.
