Pawn - photogravure print - Edition 2021

    The heart of my work as a photographer lives in making portraits, I thrive on the connection and collaboration that is the process of photographing people I meet.  The portraits are as much about me as they are about the sitter, self-portraits through the visage of a willing partner.  I was once in a workshop with a famous portrait photographer and when I showed my work her comment was " these pictures do not transcend the identity of the sitter ". At first, I was stunned and sure she was mistaken, but later I began to realize I could make my portraits more meaningful by including myself along with the sitter. 

    This hand-pulled photogravure print is made with Gamblin bone black and sepia ink, with a dash of Charbonnel sanguine ink on Hahnemühle copperplate paper. I printed an edition of 9 numbered prints and 3 A/P prints.

About Ray Bidegain

One Photographers Journey

For the last 22 years I have been lucky enough to spend my time working as a fine art photographer, and specifically working as a photographer who photographed using large format negatives and made platinum prints from the camera negatives.

The platinum period

Many of you have collected these platinum prints over the years and some of you have learned platinum printing from me along the way. I love the process and I have loved every minute of this period in my work. Platinum printing is an amazing and beautiful way to make photographs.

The Gravures

For the last five years I have started working on making photogravure prints, polymer plate photogravure prints, to be specific. I worked on it, decided I wanted to make a change and make a commitment to working as a printmaker making photogravure prints. You all know me as a person who likes handmade photography. Handmade objects are at the heart of my photographic journey and printmaking is all of that, and more.
