I am not at all surprised by what they are offering for pay. For what they want this amount is an insult. I have worked in nyc advertising agencies and retouching shops of all sizes. Believe it or not the community of retouchers in nyc at this level is a very small group of creative people. I am extremely good as a retoucher and have made a decent living from it. But people with all these skill sets who are willing to work in that environment deserve alot of cash!

A lot off people have asked me about this place over the years. My first work experience coming to NYC was with them. I think his vision resembles a dry-cleaning shop but for images. They had a punch-clock to keep track of your hours. Zapped the creativity out of you the moment you arrived. I have more horror-stories from those three weeks than in my entire 10 yr. retouching career. I have to say that the owner, won't mention his name, was the first one there and the last one to leave every day. Hard working man. But I think his passion is to become the richest man alive.

is a punch-clock different from a time-clock?..every place i have worked at has had some sort of time tracking device/software...

Well I'm referring to those things they have in factories. Assembly line style, and the only other time I've had to use one was on a wash factory summer job back in my native Holland in 88. I always seen retouching as a collaborative creative effort so I have a problem with punching a clock. As a company you set a tone of suspicion which is pretty detrimental to the creation of relationships between photog and retoucher or boss and employee. Someone earlier said something along the lines of "a company is only as good as their talent". I truly believe in that as well.

Should've learned how to play shortstop, consumed HGR, and then make pals with Warren Buffett.


Haven't seen an ad from these guys lately. Maybe they got the message.......
