Yes vax, i am in the process of putting together a retouching portfolio now. the same idea crossed my mind.
as far as art buyer psychology: I have no idea why they do what they do. I think a lot of the time the AD will see an image on fffound or something that they like and they just tell the AB that they want that person for their shoot. Other times the AB will make a suggestion based on special skills a photographer might have or quite simply because a certain photographer is hot right now. It was quite painful when everyone was hiring Terry Richardson for everything because i am not really a fan of his style. AB's have a delicate job sometimes because they are the liaison between the agency and the photographer. Sometimes it seems like they forget that they work for the agency, not for the photographer. If an issue arises they always take the side of the photographer which is understandable because i am sure that they have to deal with a lot of big egos out there and they cant have their reputation spoiled.
- ah.. I can imagine the AB's life... the "lottery-winner business model" of "hot this-week" photographers hmm...vaxorcist
