Richard Renaldi is a New York-based photographer known for his thought-provoking monographs like "Fall River Boys" (Charles Lane Press, 2009), "Manhattan Sunday" (Aperture, 2016), "I Want Your Love" (Super Labo, 2018), and more. Today, we're excited to revisit his acclaimed series "Touching Strangers," which began in 2007. This series features intimate portraits of strangers who, despite being unfamiliar with each other, are captured in close physical contact, challenging our ideas about connection and personal space.
The Aperture monograph was published in 2014, and this year marks its 10th anniversary. Renaldi has unveiled a new online gallery featuring 84 images from the series that were not included in the original book, many of which have never been seen before.
