Continuing a 19th century craft
- • Fanny masters the printing technique of photoengraving
- • The technique combines photography and copper engraving
- • She won the Prix Liliane Bettencourt pour l'intelligence de la main in 2020
Fanny Boucher studied intaglio engraving at the Estienne School in Paris. In 1998, she learned the process of Talbot-Klic photoengraving by training with Jean-Daniel Lemoine, a scientist specialised in 19th century photomechanical processes. She opened her own studio, Hélio'g, in 2000 and fifteen years later was named a Master of Art. Since then she has committed to passing on her expertise to her apprentice, Marie Levoyet. The two women now work together to produce traditional prints and art books for artists, photographers, publishers, designers and interior decorators, but also endeavour to show the potential of this technique and the engraved copper plates themselves within the world of design.

Héliogravure de Martin Becka
Fanny Boucher used a copper plate, normally intended as a tool in the production of photogravures, as a canvas for a print. The print in question was created from an original photo of a peri-urban zone taken by French based photographer Martin Becka. 50 copies were made for Galerie Imagineo using 300g rag paper, paper made from cotton linters.

Protection by Fanny Boucher
Going beyond the status of a simple vector of reproduction, the copper plate holds a very special place in Helio'g workshop’s creation process. Engraved on both sides, the copper plate isn’t destined to be discarded after serving its purpose as a plate for prints, instead it is considered a work of art in itself, or an item of interior design.
