Since becoming an independent city in 2003, Rancho Cordova has built upon its rich history as an Air Force town and has cultivated a modern, caring, beautiful city with a strong sense of diversity and a thriving local arts scene. This community of doers and makers is committed to constant improvement for the betterment of everyone and future generations.
As you’ll see in these photos, Rancho Cordova is full of people eager to step up and help their neighbors — whether they’ve lived in the area for decades or just recently arrived. The city is still growing and its residents are purposeful about maintaining a loving community. Located at the crossroads of old and new, the philosophy of “if you build it, they will come” is a daily lived experience here. Photography by: Andri Tambunan

Over 2022 – 2023, Photoville collaborated with marketing agency Finn Partners, to deliver a multi-city photography exhibition to their client, SK Group. Acting as both creative and production partner, Photoville managed the ideation and concept development, photography, interviews, design, and installation of a total of 16 PhotoCubes across four cities in the U.S.
The community-based project highlighted local leaders, small businesses owners, and individuals doing good works in their community. We worked with local photographers, and photographed and interviewed over 100 people in Bay City, Michigan; Petersburg, Virginia; Rancho Cordova, California; and Plano, Texas. The exhibition featured community members who were engaged in their communities as city managers, council members, nonprofit founders, artists, veterans, farmers, student volunteers, and even a State Senator!
The resulting PhotoCube exhibits were installed in each local community in public parks, plazas, and historic downtowns.
