Used Books Edinburgh - photogravure print - Edition 2021

I am always attracted to used book stores. it must be because of the endless possibilities of great and mysterious books you might find and never see in a new book store. Little volumes of beauty just waiting for you to take home and add to the shelf.  When I was traveling in Scotland for the second of Two photography commissions in 2011 I came across a store on a back street in Edinburgh away from the " mile" and all that comes along with tourist areas. It was quiet, intriguing, and calling to me while I set up my 8x10 camera and made this picture.

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.
