In March 2009, photographer Richard Renaldi and Seth Boyd partners officially opened their new publishing concern, Charles Lane Press, with the publication of Renaldi’s Fall River Boys. The collection of black-and-white portraits of young men in Fall River, Massachusetts, considers life in the post-industrial city where the per capita income is $ 16,000. “It is one of those places from which certain young people dream of Escaping, almost from birth,” writes author Michael Cunningham in his introduction to the book. Renaldi’s subjects, says Cunningham, are at “the age at which we all begin, often without Realizing it, to do whatever we can to create our own futures, or let the opportunity pass, and embark on futures made for us by others.”

Charles Lane Press’s guiding ideal is that “gorgeously printed books are the ultimate expression of a photographer’s vision.” With its beautiful production, Fall River Boys is a first step well taken. if you are curious about the figure of Richard Renaldi please visit her website
