Information sources on negative retouching
I am fan of the work of George Hurrell.
I was able to contact Mark Vieira, his former assistant and author, who stated the only way to recreate his style is incadescent lighting, large format and negative retouching. I use Mole Richardson lights and a Wisner 4x5 camera, but know nothing about negative retouching. I am looking for sources of information. Thank you for your time.

I always liked George Hurrell's old Hollywood portrait style, too. For negative retouching information, you might try searching for "retouching book" on eBay or Amazon.com. Eastman Kodak used to have some books on this subject, as did Kitty West, and others. The Adams Retouching Machine used to be manufactured down the street from me in Denver. Searching for that should return some message threads about retouching. Although I hand retouched thousands of customer prints with dyes, sprays, and pencils, I used to hire out all my negative retouching. In this day and age, I'd prefer to retouch in Photoshop. But it might be a fun craft to learn for fine art's sake, if not for the history. Have fun. ...pt -- Business/Communications start at http://www.PhilipTobias.com.
