About the Item
This striking black-and-white photograph of a Bluesman on Beale street in Memphis, Tennessee, captures the essence of timelessness and passion in music. The musician is seated on a weathered wooden bench, deeply engrossed in playing his electric guitar. The texture of his suit contrasts with the rustic backdrop, where crumbling plaster and age-worn bricks tell stories of the past. Above him, crooked picture frames hang, adding an eclectic charm.
The intricate metal door to the right hints at forgotten elegance. This artwork masterfully conveys the spirit of dedication and the soulful connection between the musician and his surroundings, leaving a lasting impression of serenity amidst decay.
Beale Street is a mecca for lovers of the blues.
James Sparshatt's black and white photographs of music and dance capture the emotion and intensity of people lost in the rhythm of the moment.
Palladium platinum print.The choice for serious collectors of black and white photography. Platinum prints are the ultimate expression of bespoke craft printing. In the hands of a master printer they can provide a unique register of tones and effects bringing unexpected nuances from a negative. Prints created in this way have an ethereal quality with incredible detail, enhanced by the way the chemicals soak into the fibres of the paper. They are also light fast and therefore not subject to any form of fading over time. James Sparshatt's platinum prints are produced by 31 Studio, the UK's leading exponents of this art.
The work is available as a baryta silver gelatin print or as a large scale archival print.

James Sparshatt
James Sparshatt began his photographic career in the 1990s in Bolivia, working as a photojournalist and editor of the Bolivian Times. James has had solo exhibitions in the US, Ireland, Spain, Cuba, France and across the UK. His work has also been shown at prestigious contemporary art fairs including Pulse - Miami, Art Chicago, Art Hamptons, Slick Paris, Art Market (San Francisco) among others. James’s photographs have been used for many advertising campaigns and have featured in magazines such as Dazed and Confused, Tatler, Red, Wanderlust as well as all of the UK’s major broadsheets. He has also written for the New Statesman. “My love of photography developed while I was working as a photojournalist in Latin America in the 1990s. Both there, and later in Cuba, I was captivated by the energy and exuberance of the festivals and dance so inherent in Latino life. Many of my images celebrate the rich and vibrant musical heritage of Havana, Buenos Aires and Seville. When I look at them I recall the rhythmic beat of the music and almost feel a trickle of sweat running down my back.” His exhibition at the Royal National Theatre, London was described in the Sunday Telegraph as “a dazzling collection of black and white images”. James has been a finalist in the Sony World Photographic awards, the Centre for Fine Art Photography and The Worldwide Photography Gala awards. He has also won the Center for Fine Art Photography’s International award. James frequently gives talks about his work at photographic festivals and exhibitions.
