    A different kind of portrait

    A short video from the On the Road series about New York photographer Richard Renaldi:

    http://elitedaily.com/news/world/pho...re-surprising/

    In summary, he gets two or three strangers to pose intimately and gets some interesting and unexpected results. Camera looks like a Wisner or Zone VI 8x10. Or maybe something else. Pretty cool, anyway.

    Guess the photographer had to find a gimmick. He does not have much else.

    As gimmicks go, this is a very pleasant and positive one. In my portrait studio days, it was often hard enough to have loving families to get into the positive body language. I truly enjoy seeing how well Mr. Renaldi pulls this out of complete strangers. Very, very nice to see.

    Taco Hell. We have White Castle, a very dangerous place to enter, and not because of the food. They have a weird chrome and glass interior with terrible acoustics and lighting that drives everyone nutty. Bad juju.

    there is wifey that been doing that for a while too, but in different city.. Someone showed me pics other week.. Wanna start original art project nowadays? Grab a hat from accessories market and ask people to be photographed with that hat. Add some press. Everyone would start thinking you are true artist.. Of course pics would be forgotten week after, but hey.. its an art, right?
