About this Quote

Herb Ritts' quote speaks to the journey of learning and growth that features any innovative pursuit. He acknowledges that when you initially begin, you may not know the history of the craft or the techniques that have been used before. This absence of understanding can be both a blessing and a curse, as it permits you to explore and experiment without the pressure of needing to live up to the requirements of the past. Nevertheless, it also means that you might not have the very same level of understanding of the craft that more knowledgeable practitioners have. As Ritts suggests, it is necessary to find out the history of the craft in order to acquire a deeper understanding of it and to be able to produce work that is notified by the past.
