P's Herb Ritts photos

What does everybody think of them? I know just about everybody's seen them, but I've never really seen a discussion on them. My favorite photo from the bunch would have to be the cover of The Hits 2 record cover that I use in my avy.

The Hits 2 (1993)

Something about it has always struck me about that being a kick-ass picture. The pic with the hat's a bad-ass one, as well. Another favorite of mine.

My fave Prince photo taken by Herb Ritts would have to be the one used on The Hits/The B-Sides cover, as P's mole is a perfect heart shape. I love Herb's photos of Prince. My fave Madonna photos are from Herb as well (the True Blue cover shot, for example). And didn't he direct Janet's "Love Will Never Do" video? IMHO, she never looked better.

(And didn't he also direct Mariah's "My All" vid?) I love Mr. Ritts's use of B&W and sepia. Beautiful.

HERB RITTS died in 2002, I believe December. R.I.P. He was awesome.

I can't believe somone mentioned the perfect heart shaped mole. I thought it was just my imagination.

It has a huge mouth on the cover. It's actually Sandra Bernhard's mouth.
