The work of the late legendary photographer Herb Ritts (pictured above with model Alek Wek) has always been delectable and refreshing eye balm for me. Also, why don’t fashion photographers shoot like him these days?

Some of my favorite captures of his, after the cut. (some pics NSFW)

Also, the pictorial that went with that cover story is just STUN. 

I’ve never seen Nicole look so sultry than she did in that RS pictorial.

It would’ve been Ritts’ 70th birthday today.
