Richard Learoyd — Agnes A
Richard Learoyd

Agnes A

Agnes A. is a striking large-scale portrait by Richard Learoyd, rendered as a unique dye destruction print with rich, luminous color and exceptional tonal depth. Created using a room-sized camera obscura, the work captures its subject with an almost uncanny stillness and intimacy, revealing fine details of skin and texture that feel both hyperreal and timeless. The flush-mounted format enhances the image's seamless, immersive quality, presenting the figure as a monumental yet profoundly human presence.
