I'm with The Veed. I'm my favorite.

I was just going to say, they seem to only adjust the color in the photos.

I have to agree - the work at Digital Retouch is fairly heavy-handed and generally quite inconsistent.

The work of both Chris Tarantino and Conrad represents the kind of skill level and attention to detail that I would hope to aspire to.

Also - currently my favourite - the totally awesome work being done by Carrie Beene and Otto Imaging in NYC.

If my work was half as good as hers I would be a happy retoucher.


BTW: the term 'Celebrity Retouchers'... does that mean 'Retouchers of pictures of celebrities' or 'Retouchers who are themselves celebrities'? Either way it's a pretty crass term, and since almost all retouching goes un-credited, how can a retoucher ever become a celebrity? Furthermore, surely the nature of celebrity itself precludes the promotion (or even mention) of retouching in the first place.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I thought I'm the only one that thinks that website is terrible, especially for a company that has a huge clientele. I actually left the site when I first encountered with that unnecessary intro screen. I only revisited after I saw the comments made by some of you.
