Agnes in Red Dress

Agnes in Red Dress is a striking large-scale photograph by British artist Richard Learoyd, known for his use of a room-sized camera obscura to produce images of extraordinary depth and luminosity. The work captures the subject Agnes in a vivid red dress, rendered with an almost painterly intensity through Learoyd's signature process of unique dye destruction printing. Flush-mounted to enhance its smooth, immersive surface, the piece exists as a singular, unrepeatable object, blurring the boundary between photography and traditional portraiture.

Unique dye destruction print, flush-mounted.
