The self-taught photographer's professional career took off after photographing then-upcoming actor Richard Gere in the late 1970s. In the 1980s, Ritts continued to build his reputation as a celebrity portraitist and worked as well in fashion photography and produced album covers and music videos. One of the common themes of Ritts' work is the nude. While not nude, the following album covers are examples of Ritts' work featuring a diverse range of musicians including Brian McKnight, Puff Daddy, James Taylor and Prince.<br><br><img src="http://www.lostvibe.com/ImageLoader.ashx?name=/Brian+McKnight%5cSuperhero/AlbumArtSmall.jpg" border="0" alt="Superhero"> &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="http://www.lostvibe.com/ImageLoader.ashx?name=/Puff+Daddy%5cForever/AlbumArtSmall.jpg" border="0" alt="Forever"> &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="http://www.lostvibe.com/ImageLoader.ashx?name=/James+Taylor%5cHourglass/AlbumArtSmall.jpg" border="0" alt="Hourglass"> &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="http://www.lostvibe.com/ImageLoader.ashx?name=/Prince%5cHits+1/AlbumArtSmall.jpg" border="0" alt="Hits 1"> &nbsp; &nbsp;http://www.lostvibe.com/zexplorer.aspx?id=635
