© 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. “
