Interview with Retoucher Jason Tuchman

Like a master chef adding just the right amount of seasoning to bring out the flavor in a carefully prepared dish, there is a subtle hand that puts the finishing touches on the most expertly prepared photographs: the retoucher. It’s the retoucher who whisks the photographer’s raw image files away to a magical Technicolor land where their weaknesses are overcome and they become the images they were meant to be. We brought our questions about the craft to Jason Tuchman, who at 31 not only works at the highest levels of his field, but also runs his own shop, Pistol Studios.
