Richard Renaldi is doing some pretty wonderful photography. For several years, he’s been using a
large format 8x10 camera (with the hood and everything), profiling people in ways that feel both

His first book,
“Figure and Ground,” is a collection of portraits and landscapes that capture, with a quiet intensity, a diverse cross-section of the country.
His newest book,
“Fall River Boys,” is a sort of chronicle of a decaying American town, and the (mostly) young inhabitants who are either unable or unwilling to leave. (He and his partner even launched their own
press to get it published.)
