One of my favorite photographers of all time Herb Ritts, always was my inspiration for working with the human form and a master of black-and-white photography.
He shot everyone in the industry, models, actors, and singers, and also directed a music video for Chriss Isaac.
Below is a link where you can view some of his work, you can also view the permanent exhibition of his work at the museum of fine art in Boston.
