You may have read the New Yorker article about the retoucher of
models, Pascal Dangin.
My question concerns the photos the New Yorker included in the piece,
that show his skill. They can be seen here:
http://models.com/feed/?p=359
The idea is the bottom photo is the original, the top is retouched.
Here's the thing: it appears to me that it is the top that is the
original, and the bottom the retouched version-- in other words, it
looks like Dangin made the model LESS perfect.
Note the carry of the arm, the position of the hand, finger length;
how the light in the bottom "original" seems to hit her arm and butt
from top right and a little out of the page, yet the face is dark.
It may be some retouching was done in both photos.
I would not put this past Dangin, if it's true. But I'm hoping I can
get some people more expert than me to weigh in.
Any help would be appreciated.
