Photography: "Touching Strangers"

I love photographer Richard Renaldi's work.

Longtime readers of The Randy Report may remember my post about his "Hotel Room Portraits."

The photos featured in this post are just a few from a project Renaldi has been working on titled "Touching Strangers."

Renaldi began his Touching Strangers project in 2007. His aim was simple: to encourage people to break away from who they are and pose with complete strangers with their bodies touching in some way.

Renaldi states that while some people pose awkwardly with one another, others are comfortable almost straight away. Some hold hands, or kiss one another on the cheek.

Who do you sense is comfortable? And who do you see as awkward or "out of their comfort zone?"

Check out more of Renaldi's work on the subject by clicking here.

And you can check out Renaldi's Kickstarter campaign here, where he's already raised 5 times his goal with 14 days left in the campaign. People like what they see.

Congratulations Richard!
