Some of the most vulnerable and neglected people in our region, have found an ally and a friend in Rochester photographer Arleen Thaler. Armed with her favorite camera, which she requested from her husband rather than a wedding ring, she documents the lives of those often overlooked and misunderstood.

Rick Guidotti has had a career that's taken him from New York City to Milan and now to Rochester. As a fashion photographer he photographed high fashion models. He's now focused his lens on highlighting the beauty in all of us. Through his organization, Positive Exposure, Rick spends his time photographing people with genetic differences. In preparation for it's thirtieth anniversary celebration, The Golisano Foundation brought Rick to the George Eastman House to photograph twenty individuals here in Rochester.

We visited Richard in his Anderson Alley studio to talk about large format film photography. Take a look. Aired 5/8/15.
