Billions Served by Richard Renaldi (Deadbeat Club, Los Angeles, 2025) is the sixth monograph from the Guggenheim Fellow, known for Touching Strangers and Manhattan Sunday. This 132-page hardcover is printed in five-colour offset and includes an essay by Seth Boyd. Taking its title from the familiar “billions and billions served” slogan, the book turns Renaldi’s slow, large-format camera on America’s fast-food chains. Its quiet, dignified black-and-white portraits of employees sit alongside images of patrons and the restaurants themselves. The project reminds us that those billions of meals are served both to and by billions of people. Without captions or commentary, Renaldi invites the viewer to slow down and really look at places most of us pass through on autopilot, revealing the humanity within them. It is a striking contemporary portrait and documentary photobook about work, labour and everyday American life.
