Bruce Weber (b. 1946, Greensburg, Pennsylvania) is an American fashion photographer and filmmaker whose lush, romantic imagery redefined commercial photography from the 1980s onward. He studied theater at Denison University before turning to filmmaking at New York University and refining his humanistic photographic approach under Lisette Model at The New School. Weber gained prominence with iconic advertising campaigns for Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Versace, and Abercrombie & Fitch, and his editorial work has appeared in leading publications including Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair, and Interview. He directed the Oscar-nominated documentary Let’s Get Lost (1988) about Chet Baker and has created several other films and music videos. Over his nearly five-decade career, Weber has published numerous monographs, exhibited internationally, and influenced the visual lexicon of masculinity and beauty in fashion.
