A Portrait of M. - photogravure print - The Weekly Edition

I have been making portraits of people for 40 years and I have been told this genre best represents my love for photography. I have not been in the studio much during the last 2 years for all the reasons we know. When I found myself making portraits last week I felt myself getting out of the way and letting my feelings for this medium I have chosen to spend my life doing come back to life.  This hand-pulled photogravure print is made with Charbonnel carbon black, raw sepia, noir 55981, and warm sepia inks with a dash of Charbonnel sanguine ink on Hahnemühle copperplate paper. I printed an edition of 7 numbered prints and  2 A/P prints.  Hand-pulled print by Ray Bidegain Limited edition of 7 6 x 7.5 inches on an 11x15 sheet. Signed numbered and dated by the artist on the lower front.
