- Description
- Provenance
- Info
Time plays a simple role in photography, shutter speeds, film development times, and more. A photograph records a moment in time, often a fraction of a second in time, or in some cases long exposures record a blurry bit of life.
In my work, I strive to make pictures that challenge time, wanting to trigger our imaginations. Using props, wardrobe, and process I want my pictures to transport the viewer to a past that lives only in their imaginations.
This portrait of Devon is part of a new series I am working on that will take us through time.
This hand-pulled polymer photogravure print is made with Gamblin Portland Stiff Black and sepia inks, on Rives BFK paper. I decided on an edition of 12 numbered prints and 2 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.
