Through a retrospective spanning more than a decade, the work reveals his unique technical process, based on a handcrafted camera obscura that does not use negatives. The result is life-size portraits that impose the direct presence of the subject and immerse the viewer in a visual experience of unusual intimacy. An opportunity to discover the work of an author who connects with the very origins of photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRichard Learoyd's work is characterized by a photographic technique rooted in the past. The artist builds his own camera obscura and, in most cases, does not use a negative, obtaining direct, large-format images. Since his portraits are life-size, they create a physical presence of the subject that defies the usual distance between subject and viewer. This catalog, produced for the Fundación MAPFRE exhibition, brings together 52 works from major public and private collections, as well as the photographer's own studio. The selection also includes pieces created in Spain, offering a complete view of his career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eContemporary photography and historical processes (camera obscura, negative-free photography).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLarge-format portraiture and its impact on viewer perception.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between artisanal technique and artistic expression in the digital age.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRichard Learoyd's work as a bridge between the origins of photography and current practices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis catalog is aimed at professional and amateur photographers interested in historical and contemporary photographic processes.
