About the Item
A moment of joy on the dance floor at the Festival Acadiens et Creoles in 2019 in Lafayette, Louisiana.
A senior Southern Gentleman combines strength and tenderness to give his dance partner a moment of joy.
This black-and-white photograph captures a dynamic scene of a lively outdoor dance. The focus is on two individuals locked in movement, exuding energy and joy. The man, wearing a cowboy hat and graphic t-shirt, exudes effortless cool and engages with his partner, a woman whose expression is full of exhilaration. The blurred background, filled with slightly indistinct figures, suggests the presence of a crowd, emphasizing the communal atmosphere. The use of monochrome enhances the timeless quality, drawing attention to textures and contrasts—the crumpled denim of the jeans, the wrinkles in the shirt, and the play of light and shadow across the scene. This photograph uniquely encapsulates a moment of spontaneity and human connection, highlighting the universal joy of dance. Sparshatt's choice of framing and composition invites the viewer to feel part of this jubilant moment.
James Sparshatt's photographs of music and dance capture the emotion and intensity of people lost in the rhythm of the moment. James Sparshatt's black and white portraits are a search for a connection with a world of emotions. His photographs from the streets of Havana, the milongas of Buenos Aires, the jazz clubs of New Orleans and bars of Andalucia capture the spirit of music in populations wher it is the very lifeblood and expression of life.
Palladium platinum prints are 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, Europe's leading exponents of this art.
The work is also 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.
