Bruce Weber, (born March 29, 1946) is an American photographer and occasional filmmaker. He is most widely known for his ad campaigns for Calvin Klein, Abercrombie & Fitch and Ralph Lauren.
He first came to the attention of the general public by shooting late 1980s and early 1990s iconographic ad images for omnisexual fashion company Calvin Klein. His straightforward black and white shots, featuring an unclothed heterosexual couple on a swing facing each other, two clothed men in bed, and model Marcus Schenkenberg barely holding jeans in front of himself in a shower, catapulted him into the national spotlight. His photo for Calvin Klein of Olympic athlete Tom Hintnaus in white briefs is a famous iconic image. He photographed the winter 2006 Ralph Lauren Collection.
Weber's photographs are occasionally in color, however most are in black and white or toned shades. They are gathered in limited edition print books, including but not limited to A House is Not a Home and Bear Pond, an early work which featured, among other models, Eric Nies from MTV's The Real World series.
Bruce Weber, brought the image of chiseled male beauty more into the public spotlight. Among others, he is known for his nude photographs of the Brewer twins and the Carlson twins. He has long been the photographer for Abercrombie, even when it was in its catalog days. Weber appears to be a favorite of Sam Shahid, Abercrombie's advertising representative, who used to work at Calvin Klein with Weber.
Weber is credited for launching the modeling career of Isabella Rossellini.
