Pascal Dangin: Master Retoucher
Who is Pascal Dangin? He is the retoucher for stars. Pretty he master that professionally photoshops fashion photos for editorial. His aid is so high demand, for his techincal and as well as his taste of what is visually appealing in photography. Majority of well known photographer such as Annie Leibovitz, Steven Meisel, Craig McDean and more will not allow one of their images to be published with it passing the hands of Dangin's studio.
I mentioned the Dove ad campaign that proudly featured lumpier-than-usual “real women” in their undergarments. It turned out that it was a Dangin job. “Do you know how much retouching was on that?” he asked. “But it was great to do, a challenge, to keep everyone’s skin and faces showing the mileage but not looking unattractive.”
If you are interested in Photoshop or Photography or the business of graphics the New Yorker article on Pascal Dangin is a great read.
