Portrait of Cliff - Portland - photogravure print - The Weekly Edition

I am lucky to have friends (and friends of friends) who are happy to stop by my backyard studio and model for me. A best friend moved away a few years back and when she was in Portland this week she stopped by to introduce me to her new partner, and to model for me. My current portrait work involves a simple setting with good light and an equally simple garment, I feel like this helps turn the viewers eyes to the subject of my gaze. This hand-pulled photogravure print is made with Charbonnel carbon black, raw sepia, 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 8 x 10 inches on an 15 x 20 sheet. Signed numbered and dated by the artist on the lower front.
