"Some of the greatest fashion pictures were made by Cartier Bresson. The decision to retouch or use photoshop is the decision of the photographer. In my opinion the new trendy tools have become more important than content.
...

"I was a friend of Martin Munkacsi. Martin was most interested in ideas, palette, and content; he did very little retouching. Bad pictures are bad pictures whether fashions of the times or street photography.
...

"Photoshop is a wonderful tool when used properly. When used poorly the images are no longer photography. Overly retouched images in my view are delegated to the word Illustography."
...

"I retouch my pictures with the lighting."
