One of my flatmates is a freelance retoucher. She’s currently working on a playboy shoot.. which leads to some interesting dinnertime discussion. It really is an art. She’s shown me some published work where she’s taken images of four girls and made one super-girl. Crazy stuff.
wow, that’s sort of scary… there was a story about something like that in France a few years back, but the other way around: photos of “young delinquents” retouched to look more, well, dodgy.
