Pascal Dangin
From Fashion Icons such as Anna Wintor and Graydon Carter to Celebrities such as Madonna and J.LO call Pascal Dangin the Picasso of our time. Although, there have been a lot of controversies in weather or not image touch up or photo manipulation is an appropriate measure to take to portray an image, Dangin think differently- He states “ Hey everybody wants to look good” “Basically we’r selling a product--we’re selling an image. To those who say too much retouching, I say you are bogus.This is the world that we’re living in. Everything is glorified. I say live in your time”
However, I do disagree with some aspects of Mr. Dangins thought. Yes i do believe that we as a society are evolving and technology is a significant part of who we are. But In my opinion Re-touching and manipulation of an image are two very different things. Re-touching of an image is basically removing or discarding any flaws such as (scars, wrinkles, red-eye etc.) manipulation of an image is literally changing the image to portray something or someone different (making someone look skinner, taller, longer legs, longer neck etc.). Below I have posted a video of a model before and after retouching.
