nu en rouge (2004) Photography by Jean Claude Nougaret

Jean Claude Nougaret has been a professional photographer since 1980. He worked for a long time on portraits and reportage.

Now my work is essentially devoted to his research with gum bichromate to create works associated with this process. He worked for 30 years to rediscover the old techniques of gum bichromate work. This involves first creating a negative printed in the size of the future gum bichromate print, then printing on high quality paper the size of the negative, and with 3 products (gum arabic, potassium dichromate, and dye ). Once the page is dry, it prints with adequate lighting for 10 to sometimes 30 minutes to produce this multichrome photo. Thus with 3 negatives made he can make unique and multicolored prints.

Jean Claude Nougaret was born in 1949. He lives and works in Vauvert (France).
