James Dodd – Sheffield Photographer

Some thoughts on approaching ideas for projects logically versus organically and thoughts on my new bodies of work The Walkers and a currently untitled piece on Sheffield, both works in progress.

I recently took the decision to rework my website, this comes in the form of a new blog design, reworked photo essays and some interesting developments in the future.

Olympic Dreams is currently selected on feature shoot, a fantastic website

Latest updates from Sunday Morning sales and a couple of new(ish) images. And some ramblings on the professionals.

The Magenta: Flash Forward – Emerging Photographers 2011 list has been announced, and I’m delighted to have made the honorable mentions.

This week (16th & 17th April) was a little slow on the picture front if I’m honest. I hit up the Pleasley (pronounced plezley) car boot on Saturday morning, a first for me and then Hope Valley on the Sunday.

Three images from my Olympic Dreams series and my Ballroom video installation will be presented in an upcoming group show at Sheffield’s Electric Works.

I’ve decided to start writing up a weekly account of my journeys through the world of Sunday Morning Sales and this is the second entry.

For the last few months, I’ve been working on a new project. It’s nothing new, but it’s somewhat of a diversion from my usual work. The work is titled feasted and at it’s basic level can be described as a food diary.

The car boot season has begun, and I’m back out there, hunting around bargains and additions to my Sunday Morning Sales.

A few of my images have been selected by the judges as “premium picks” as part of the Mob Format at Format Festival.

A copy of my Olympic Dreams book was selected as one of the top 20 books submitted books for the Format Festival.
