Richard Learoyd: Portraits
Learoyd’s photographs mimic how we see—rendering particular features in sharp detail, others gradually melting out of focus—effectively extending the process of looking. The artist has said of his portraits, “My hope is that they inspire a truly reflective view: a view of intimacy and understanding, and insight into another that will increase our humanity.”
