© American fashion photographer, Herb Ritts (1952-2002) took many portraits of models, actors and celebrities.
This is a shot of X-superman Christopher Reeve (1952- 2004).
This is what Ritts had to say about it in an interview “I think there’s an almost stoic quality about this picture. The light’s from a skylight in my studio; it’s not artificially lit.I do admire people who, even in a dire situation-like Stephen Hawking, as well-exhibit an indomitable spirit. “

This picture could of not possibly been taken in 1982 – he wasn’t injured until 1995……..

According the website of the photographer (Herb Ritts), he met Christopher Reeve for the first time in 1982. The same interview says the photograph was taken in a studio during a movie shot.
It could probably be the shooting of “Above Suspicion” in 1995.
