Agnes, July 2013 (5)
Richard Learoyd's "Agnes, July 2013 (5)" is a gelatin silver contact print that exemplifies the artist's commitment to analog photography and direct image capture without digital intervention. The work demonstrates Learoyd's characteristic use of large format camera obscura techniques, which produce meticulously detailed portraits with remarkable tonal subtlety and luminosity. The double mounting process, wherein the contact print is first flush mounted and then mounted again, reflects the artist's careful consideration of presentation and the physical materiality of the photographic object itself.
