Richard Learoyd is a British contemporary artist and photographer.

Early life and work

Richard Learoyd was born in the small mill town of Nelson, Lancashire, England in 1966. At the age of 15, his mother insisted he take a pinhole photography workshop, which he attributes as the start of his interest in photography.[1] In 1990 he graduated from the Glasgow School of Art with a degree in Fine Art Photography. While there he studied with American photographer Thomas Joshua Cooper.[2] In 1991 Learoyd was awarded an artist-in-residence at the Scottish Ballet.[3] Learoyd taught photography at Bournemouth and Poole College from 1994 until 1999.[4] In 2000, he moved to London where he worked as a commercial photographer.[4]
