Sally Mann shares Learoyd's deep commitment to large format analog photography and gelatin silver printing, producing intimate portraits and figure studies with a similarly luminous tonal quality and contemplative emotional weight. Her use of wet plate collodion and traditional darkroom processes mirrors Learoyd's devotion to materiality and direct photographic contact with the subject.

Sugimoto works extensively with large format cameras and traditional silver gelatin processes, achieving a similar cinematic luminosity and meditative stillness that resonates strongly with Learoyd's intimate realism. Both artists foreground the physical and chemical properties of light sensitive materials as central to the meaning of their work.

Dijkstra creates large format portraits characterized by psychological intimacy, quiet contemplation, and a precise attention to the human subject that closely parallels the mood and approach in Learoyd's portraiture. Her work similarly strips away distraction to focus on the individual with unflinching and tender directness.
