Pomegranates - photogravure print - The Weekly Edition
- Description
- Provenance
- Info
The pomegranate with its mythological and sacred history, beautiful sanguine colored skin, and sensual shape are one of my favorite still life objects. When I was small my grandparents had a tree in the backyard and my mother made my favorite jelly from the deep red juice. I think this is part of my attraction to this exotic feeling fruit so I have made many photographs over the years.
This hand-pulled photogravure print is made with Charbonnel Bistre, Noir 55981, and Sanguine inks on Hahnemühle copperplate paper. I printed an edition of 6 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.
