Early life and work edit

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]
