Yep, Hicks is great. And he prepares for a shoot for hours and hours. And I'm sure his photos look great right out of the camera. But I personally know that at least some of his work is retouched. How? 'Cause the photographs of one of my models who was shot by him came out different than what he had shot. In other words, there were things on her in the shot that weren't on her in final production.
Again, one's dick is not bigger by claiming their photos come right out of the camera looking magazine ready. It's not realistic at all. Sure, SOME photos may come out needing no work and looking great, but most photos need 'something' before they're ready for a client.
