I think that's the problem for many fashion photographers these days, you have legendary photographers that are famous for 10 pictures, and the famous photographers now days have to do a shooting every 2 days. It's very hard. You need clever assistants who can find you new lights, which doesn't make it so easy to be a perfectionist now. I think the mass production in the industry made photoshop such a useful tool. So many shootings today, you can see the result on the screen right away and even if it's not so perfect, you can just correct it afterward. You don't shoot anymore a "moment de grâce" or find this magical moment where everything was perfect and you captured it. There is so much to be done that it's become useful though, and also to make diversity, to change the color and all of that. If we were still relying only on the camera, we would not be able to do so many pictures that look different from one another.
