Rue Laplace / Les Petites Vues - Paris

The next edition of prints from my series of photographs of Paris - Les Petites Vues Paris. This series will be presented with 11x14 / 4-ply rag mats included.

This is Rue Laplace, the short street that housed our address for the 2 weeks we were in Paris. The apartment was a 3rd floor walk up, this view out the window made the climb each day worth the trouble.  It is interesting to me how different it felt to be staying in an apartment, it has been 41 years since the last time.  I loved it even though the street was noisy, there is no parking and so many stairs,  This is the beauty of being on vacation.

This hand-pulled photogravure print is made with Charbonnel 55981 Black, Bistre, and a dash of Sanguine inks on Hahnemühle copperplate paper. I printed an edition of 8 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.

      for the last 32 years I have worked in the cozy basement of my 110 year old home in Portland Oregon. Your fine prints are made here and are a product of my love of photography and art.
