Hi all,
I'm sure most on this forum may have heard or read about the famed Pascal Dangin - owner of Box in New York. Often regarded as the best retouching company in the WORLD!
I'm always hearing snippets of info / rumours etc - often very excited and secretive! Thought I would start a thread and see what you all think or have heard about their setup!
Rumours I heard / read such as:-
- They employ 70 full time retouchers
- They handle 10,000 jobs at any one time! (source - wiki)
- Each retoucher only handles one part of the image, e.g. handbags, hair, skin, clothing, then it all comes together at the end via the man himself. Upshot of this is that no single employee can say they have retouched the whole image and bugger off to another company with the knowledge.
- Pascal has helicopter land him on roof of building each day !
- Pascal works very very long days. Often longer than anyone else.
- All retouchers are kept apart from each other and on different floors, and have signed NDA's. Only the man myself has dealings with the big photographers.
- They write there own retouching software
Has anyone ever even stepped inside the famed premises????!!!
Can someone in NY photograph the outside of the building for us?
If that many retouchers work there, surely someone on here might have worked there at some point?
Just interested in dispelling some myths about this magical box..
