Jen Swanson - November 4

In Richard Renaldi's photo project "Touching Strangers," he pulls two strangers together and asks them to pose with some sort of physical contact. The expressions and body language in his series of photos are great, but his photos also show some vibrant colors. This photo, "Carlos and Alex, New York" from 2007, shows two subjects standing against a neon-green wall. One of the people holds a lighter, but similarly green, sweatshirt at his side. His pants are dirty, and muddled with several dark colors in stark contrast to his bright white shirt. The other subject is wearing more muted colors - a light blue and tan - but they contrast with the bright green wall. The metal wall is full of texture, which adds visual interest.
