The Curated Lab Podcast opens up how the industry really works. Fashion photographer Per Appelgren (Prada, Vogue, Nike, Casablanca) and hair & beauty retouch artist Jan Wischermann (Louis Vuitton, Vogue and international beauty brands, more than 20 years in the industry) talk honestly about the craft, the career and the people behind high-end images, including the mistakes that taught them the most.
