Richard Renaldi: I Want Your Love
Richard Renaldi's autobiographical photo book I Want Your Love navigates through the most intimate moments in a happy life. 'I got started in early childhood in Chicago in the 1970s. I Want Your Love traces the story from my childhood to middle age, exploring the meaning of youth and finding out what the most important things in life are.'
'Richard Renaldi made his first self portrait in 1978 when he was ten years old. Standing in the bathroom of his family's house in suburban Chicago, dressed in a rugby shirt and white chinos, arms folded, a young boy calmly appraises the camera. He parts his lips around his front teeth and ventures a hesitant grin. He waits for the timer to click. Thus begins the work of self-examination that will occupy him for the rest of his life. I Want Your Love is Richard Renaldi's visual autobiography, navigating the most intimate moments of a seemingly charmed life. From his earliest years spent in Chicago in the 1970s, I Want Your Love follows the arc from childhood to middle age, exploring what it means to be young and perpetually seeking, and what it means both to find and to lose the things we most deeply treasure.'
'Personally, this is my favorite Renaldi book. In I Want Your Love, we find Renaldi at his most vulnerable and intimate, revealing his own story in a beautifully presented book full of life and color.' — Christian Michael Filardo
