Charles Lane Press
December 10th, 2008
Photographer Richard Renaldi has just announced the launch of both a new book—Fall River Boys—and a new publishing company—Charles Lane Press. He intends to self-distribute the new book, which can be purchased (come February 2009) through the website or in a handful of art and design bookstores around the country.
Richard says, “This book is the culmination of over 8 years of photographing primarily young men and cityscapes in the town of Fall River, Massachusetts.
Fall River Boys is what I consider to be a complete vision. All of our decisions have been made with quality in mind, and we feel that we have not compromised in any way with this book. It is the mission of Charles Lane Press to maintain the highest levels of quality—from the papers we select, and the craftsmanship of the German printers we work with, to the quality of our bindings and design.”
His 2006 Aperture monograph, entitled Figure and Ground, deftly combined portraiture and landscape in a quiet and lyrical manner. I’m looking forward to seeing the new work.
