Irina and Children, 2008 (c) Richard Renaldi/All rights reservedRICHARD RENALDI graduated from New York University in 1990 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography. He is now one of the most renowned young portrait photographers working today. His first book, Figure and Ground, was published by Aperture. "Renaldi’s work melds two classic photographic genres—portrait and straight landscape—into a single descriptive frame that speaks as much to a sense of the individuals before the lens as it does to the spaces they inhabit. The omnivorous film-plane of Renaldi’s 8-by-10 camera embraces not only the individuals directly in front of it, but the environment that encompasses them as well. If there is truly a center to the American social landscape, it can be found here, in Renaldi’s precisely rendered portraits." (Aperture Foundation)

I think linking landscape and environment to the figure is a fascinating connection.
I would have never though to intertwine the subject and the background together, to make a masterpiece. I am a beginner photographer. LOVE your blog and how much I learn from it.
Have a super day! :)
