The photo whisperer
Pascal Dangin is the premier retoucher of fashion photographs. Art directors and admen call him when they want someone who looks less than great to look great, someone who looks great to look amazing, or someone who looks amazing already--whether by dint of DNA or M·A·C--to look, as is the mode, superhuman.
Vanity Fair, W, Harper's Bazaar, Allure, French Vogue, Italian Vogue, V, and the Times Magazine, among others, use Dangin. Many photographers, including Annie Leibovitz, Steven Meisel, Craig McDean, Mario Sorrenti, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, and Philip-Lorca diCorcia, rarely work with anyone else. Around thirty celebrities keep him on retainer, in order to insure that any portrait of them that appears in any outlet passes through his shop, to be scrubbed of crow's-feet and stray hairs. Dangin's company, Box Studios, has eighty employees and occupies a four-story warehouse in the meatpacking district.
"I look at life as retouching," Dangin says. "Makeup, clothes are just a transformation of what you want to look like. It is known that everybody does it, but they protest. The people who complain about retouching are the first to say, `Get this thing off my arm.'"
It turns out that the Dove ad campaign that proudly featured lumpier-than-usual "real women" in their undergarments was a Dangin job. "Do you know how much retouching was on that? But it was great to do, a challenge, to keep everyone's skin and faces showing the mileage but not looking unattractive."
