[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a retired museum photographer and I have retouched over 45,000 photos of my work and other photographers images. Those images were heavily scrutinized and there’s no way I would have missed the stuff in the background of the office photos.

I didn’t work in the fashion industry but I have two close friends who did. A fashion photographer and a retouch artist. The fashion photographer almost always works at the direction of an art director who has cleared their project with those at the top. A retoucher reviews every detail of an image used for advertising and usually works with a team. There’s absolutely no way one photographer or a rogue art director made these images happen alone. Balenciaga is right they are wholly responsible but I don’t buy the “we didn’t know what was going on in our own shop” bs.

I’ll also just say that the Michael Booreman book in the background is absolutely questionable and everyone at Balenciaga would damn well know that. They would know what that is and allowed. Photographers/art directors are well aware of who the controversial photographers are and you don’t even bring them up in conversation. [/quote]

This was a deliberate choice. [/quote]
