Early Morning Oaks - Polymer photogravure print - Edition 2021

I have never been good at getting up really early to go outside and make photographs.  On this particular weekend, I was on a retreat with some other photographers in my community.  We were staying at a member's home in the Columbia River Gorge and everyone was up early including Moi. I was stunned by the beauty of this Oak tree with a light fog in the air. My children tease me that most of my landscape pictures are titled " Tree and Fog" what can I say.....

This hand-pulled polymer photogravure print is made with Gamblin Portland Black ink, on Rives BFK paper.  I decided on an edition of 14 numbered prints and 2 A/P prints.

  • 6 x 7.5 on an 11x15 sheet.

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.
