Paper Summary:

This paper examines how the contemporary photographer of celebrities, Herb Ritts, unquestionably took the medium of celebrity, or what is often called promotional or vanity photography, and rendered it into an art form.

From the Paper:

"Another popular work was that of Ritts' photograph of Jack Nicholson in costume as the joker for the "Batman films." Nicholson was in costume, but the photograph seemed very intimate because it focused on Nicholson's eyes, giving the viewer a sense of the man 'behind the mask' and makeup. The 2002 BBC obituary of Ritts also showed more sensitive works, such as the Vanity Fair cover Ritts photographed, where Warren Beatty, the notorious Hollywood womanizer cradling the pregnant belly of his new wife Annette Benning."
