Richard Renaldi is a New York based photographer who specializes in documentary portrait projects. Strangers Touching is an ongoing project in which he photographs complete strangers with one stipulation - they must touch each other in some way.
“I think it reveals a lot about body language,” says Renaldi. “There is clear hesitation in some of the images, and other times, you are surprised at how comfortable they are.” Often posing his subjects in a way one might for family or couple photos, Renaldi attempts to capture an “implied narrative,” bringing a new complexity to portrait-making and visual storytelling. “My objective was to bring an unpredictable variable in a very traditional photographic formula—to create a spontaneous and fleeting relationship between strangers,” he said.
