My Take
Bruce Weber is one of those photographers whose work you've probably seen a thousand times without knowing his name — those dreamy, sun-drenched black-and-white images of young men that defined the Calvin Klein and Abercrombie & Fitch aesthetic in the '80s and '90s. He brought a cinematic intimacy to fashion photography that felt genuinely different, less glossy magazine and more old Hollywood coming-of-age film. What really gets me, though, is that he made a full-length documentary about Chet Baker called Let's Get Lost back in 1988, and it's genuinely one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking music docs I've ever seen — proof that his eye for melancholy and beauty isn't just a commercial trick but a real artistic sensibility. The guy can find something tender in just about any subject.
