We are not gonna tell you anything new by saying that the pandemic has changed not only our way of living but also the means by which we interact with one another. Today, like never before, we are prone to keeping our distance from each other. It seems that we have to relearn how to be around people again. While it's not a big struggle for some, others might find it quite challenging.

Richard Renaldi is a photographer from New York, USA who came up with the idea to create a photo series called "Touching strangers". The artist started this project in 2007 and completed it in 2013, way before all the chaos caused by Covid broke loose. The photographs depict complete strangers physically interacting while posing together. The portraits are very affectionate and intimate, encouraging us to reflect on the distance and boundaries we set for one another, especially in times like this.

This is nice. Two radically different men who aren't afraid to link arms.

This entire collection is simplistically beautiful, different & innovative. Peaceful at first glance, but some of the pics have far more depth, emotion & even a couple have anger or despair. Wonderful project of silent humanity. Thank you for sharing.

In one of his interviews, Richard mentioned that he did all his casting right there on the street without setting up the portraits beforehand. Nothing was prearranged. This way he had less control over the process.

The photographer was looking for a connection. It would take him from 10 minutes to 5 hours to take a perfect shot.

The artist wanted to take affectionate pictures showing that these people are strangers but they could also be good friends. However, sometimes it was challenging to find someone eager to participate in a photoshoot. It takes courage to show intimate moments in front of a camera, even more so when one has to do that with a stranger!

What do you think, dear pandas? Would you be brave enough to get super close to a person you're seeing for the first time in your life?

Totally agree. Also, what is this supposed to be showing? The photographer tells two strangers exactly how to pose, then takes a picture. All it's showing is that some people can follow directions.

Wow this is cool. I hope he keeps this up when covid fears can finally subside. Beautiful. Not just the startlingly intimate photos, but also the ones that allow you to see anxiety and discomfort in pushing closeness like this. Humans are so f***ing strange and basic and funny and sad and enigmatic. I love to see the scope of our social bonds and fears and tendencies to overshare or reach out all muddled. Great project.

FAQs

Is it wrong to take pictures of strangers? ›

Through litigation, public education, and other forms of advocacy, the ACLU has defended the rights of photographers and all camera-wielding individuals to document freely. When in public spaces where you are lawfully present you have the right to photograph anything that is in plain view.

How do you approach strangers for pictures? ›

When you approach a stranger, wear a nice smile and have something interesting to say to them. If you simply come straight out and ask if you can take a photo, you will probably receive more rejections. Not only will having a project to work on help keep you motivated, but you can tell people about it.

Which of the following photographers famously said if your pictures aren t good enough you aren t close enough? ›

“If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.” – Robert Capa.

What is a female photographer called? ›

A female photographer is simply called a photographer, just like a male photographer. There is no specific term for a female photographer, as the profession is not gender-specific. In fact, women have been making significant contributions to the field of photography since its inception.

Is it OK to take pictures of people without them knowing? ›

It is generally OK for people to take photographs at any public place or any private place that they own or rent. Being present on someone else's private property generally requires the property owner's consent to take photos.

What can a stranger do with a picture of you? ›

They could pretend to be you in order to open credit accounts – such as for credit cards – leaving you with the bill for their purchases. Identity thieves could also use your details for non-financial scams, such as pretending to be you on dating websites.

Why would a stranger ask to take a picture with you? ›
