53 RICHARD RENALDI

Faith, 2001
c-print, 30" x 40"

“ Renaldi’s approach to his subject is that of the street documentarian; scouting his location, the photographer invites people who interest him to sit for their portrait. While doing so, Mr. Renaldi also begins a photographic survey of the place. In this sense, the portrait of the individual becomes a topographical study of the physical and cultural environment, and vice versa.” (Western Project) Renaldi has had solo exhibitions at Western Project, Los Angeles, and Debs and Co., New York, with another slated for 2006 at Yossi Milo Gallery. His work has been featured in such group exhibitions as “Strangers” at the International Center for Photography’s first triennial, New York, Gracie Mansion Gallery, Feature, and the 494 Gallery. His work has appeared in New York Magazine, Time Out/New York, and Village Voice. Mr. Renaldi divides his time between New York City and Los Angeles.
