Richard Renaldi's Photography Blog

Incredible work from Renaldi on this project. Imagine doing 5 months with an 8x10 to do environmental portraits with natural light. Wow... that would be a dream assignment for me. Ecxcellent work, Richard.

Richard Renaldi's Photography Blog: "I have 'climbed that mountain'and returned home a more experienced and hopefully better photographer. All of this of course could not have been done without the help and collaboration of a great crew. My first assistant - shared by both my friend Wadley and then my partner Seth were an enormous help and my fantastic producer Mary Pratt could handle and resolve any difficult issue or situation that came up with calmness and grace. Being able to work with local crews from so many different countries and meeting so many new people was rewarding, as was working with the agency people from McCann and the clients representing Microsoft -all very nice down to earth people. In the end I am so happy they choose only one photographer- me! and that they produced an entire advertising campaign of real people in eight by ten large format with all natural light- all extremely rare and unusual in this business especially in the digital age."
