The contemplative mood and mesmerizing detail of Richard Learoyd’s large-scale color photographs of the human figure, portraits, and still lifes create an uncanny sense of intimacy between subject and viewer. Working in his East London studio, Learoyd utilizes a room-sized camera obscura with a fixed lens to make unique direct-positive prints. Pared to the essential components of making a photograph—a dark chamber fitted with a lens, sensitized paper, and light—his labor-intensive process is closely associated with the early history of the medium.
