Richard Learoyd is featured in issue no. 5 of la fundación, the magazine published by Fundación MAPFRE in Spain. Learoyd writes about style, beauty, craft, and the enigmatic quality that distinguishes some photographs.
“I believe people can sense that in a successful artwork an enigma can manifest itself which elevates it beyond the expectation of the viewer and also the maker,” writes Learoyd. “Often when making photographs, I strive to become invisible to allow the work to have its own life separate from me. I try to give room for the work to breathe, to exist alone and show its own unique presence.”
