Have you guys ever worked as the sole retoucher for just one photographer (not one of the dinosaurs, but someone who is well represented, published in Vogue regularly)? And if so, how does it compare to a studio environment (multiple client roster,mix of ad and editorial jobs)? Do you burn out retouching the same photographers stuff day in and day out?

Re: Question for studio retouchers
If your in a studio you might be junior doing the grunt work then the senior does the color and takes it to the finish. Usually retouchers that work for just one photographer don't do that in a studio but instead are private client and those retouchers handle the gig from start to finish. But that is just my limited experience and I am sure others will chime in. I personally think that everyone should be working on all levels like back in the old days or certain studios but that is just what I think. It feels as though you are being held down with that set up I outlined earlier and it's b.s.

Re: Question for studio retouchers
I've always worked at small boutique studios, certainly started out as a grunt, but that's not the case anymore. I have a few clients who prefer to work with me for the duration of the job, and they're great, but the majority of them are by and large more "safe" shooters, not a ton of experimenting, unfortunately.

by SolsticeI've noticed that reps don't represent retouchers. I should clarify, I have seen one that does, out of so many that don't include a category for retouchers. Why is that?
The categories I've seen are as follows:
photographers
set designers
stylists

Does anyone work for a retouching house? If so, how much do you make? I know it varies, I just would like YOUR feedback. I know in my region freelancers and houses range from 150-250/hr, but I'd like to know what the people within the houses make. Also, if you're a freelance, what do YOU typically charge...

This is just a question for professional retouchers, the ones who have or are working in amazing studios or had their retouched photos in quite a few reputable ads, magazines, etc.
Where did the bulk of your learning come from? Whether it's some technique know-how, all the way to advanced...-
