We were shocked and saddened to hear that celebrity and fashion photographer Herb Ritts died Thursday morning at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles at the age of 50. He died of complications from pneumonia, his publicist Stephen Huvane said. Ritts made his name snapping celebrities like Michael Jackson, Tom Cruise, Richard Gere, Elizabeth Taylor, Jack Nicholson, Cindy Crawford and even Monica Lewinsky for covers and spreads in magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, Playboy and Rolling Stone. He also directed highly stylized music videos for Madonna, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson and Chris Issac, and did commercial work for, among others, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, The GAP, Giorgio Armani.
