Education and career
Dimmock is a 2005 graduate of the program in documentary photography and photojournalism at the International Center of Photography. She shoots regularly for the New York Times Magazine, Fortune, Newsweek and other U.S. magazines. She has been profiled in New York magazine, Aperture, Photo District News, and the British Journal of Photography. She is a member of VII Photo Agency.
She began her "Ninth Floor" project in late 2004 in Manhattan. A drug dealer noticed her camera, approached her on the street, and invited her to take photographs of him. He led Dimmock to a building in the Flatiron District, where Dimmock spent eight months photographing the approximately 30 heroin addicts who shared an apartment. In June 2005, the owners of the apartment evicted the addicts, but Dimmock continued to photograph two of the couples for more than two years after the eviction. The project was published as a video and as a book in 2007.
