I’ve been really into Fashion retouching lately, especially because I’m doing some intensive retouching lessons with Lynda.com by Chris Orwig – But let’s get back to retouching. About a month ago we reviewed Pascal Danging, the Master of retouching and owner of high end retouching studio The Box Studios, but there’s a lot of other Agencies / Studios who are doing some pretty amazing retouching work. HappyFinish is a London based agency which worked on the beautiful Diesel Camouflage and La Perla Campaigns as well as Esquire and Vogue magazines amongst others. Then there is  Stella Digital, another great New York studio with brilliantly retouched images. Here are some of the Best Retouching Studios – Browse over these incredible retouching agencies, full of beautiful Portfolios and Before/After images (especially Real-Fake).

Don’t call Sacha Waldman a traditionalist. This South African / New York based photographer never took a photography class. He never shot film. Jumping straight into digital, Waldman just tinkered with his images until he found inspiration. “Experimentation is the main thing,” said Waldman. “You create a look that turns you on….and you move from there.” Between Hip-hop, guns, money, celebrity, chocking and creepy kids, Waldman’s imagery is diverse with interesting sets research ( sometimes it takes him more than a week to create one image)
and long time post-production / digital manipulation. Check more of his chocking images @ www.sachawaldman.com
