Devil's Staircase, Wales -
Devil's Staircase is tucked away in the middle of a gorgeous valley in Mid-Wales. Its beautiful setting takes you down to the bottom where you cross the river and begin the steep climb to the top. Hairpin roads and sharp bends take you quickly to the top where the view is spectacular and the ground begins to slowly flatten out. As the hills begin to flatten into the more rolling type this remarkable object appears like a beacon ahead of you. There it is. The proud red K6 kiosk sitting patiently for you as it has for many more before and many more after. Its remoteness is so spectacular that it was used in the 2020 Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here advert, with Ant+Dec using it. The phone has long gone but its importance and presence highlight exactly what these kiosks mean to us. Their powers are undiminished, even when they are nothing more than ornamental.
Telephone Booths is a continuation of my debut series 'Hand Dryers'. Both series capture the everyday objects we fail to notice to examine what they say about us and how we treat the world around us.
What is the difference between Open Edition and Limited Edition prints?
Open edition prints only come in one size and are simply printed on Matt Archival paper and shipped straight to you. There is no limit to how many will be printed.
Limited Edition prints are typically printed on a Gloss paper, come in several sizes and finish options (framing / acrylic mount), and are signed and editioned by Sam. There are a limited number printed in each size and once they're gone they're gone.

Samuels art makes our house feel alive and vibrant. I am forever finding new details within each image. Samuel was extremely helpful when helping us find the perfect images for our home. He was always extremely friendly and personable as well as highly professional.
Rickie Haywood-Williams, BBC Radio 1
His work is so unique and arresting. He is somehow able to capture the 'ordinary' in a way that makes it feel truly extraordinary. I'm so excited to see his work in our home.
Lisa Bowcot, Interior Designer
Could we ever need more insight than we do now about how to dry our hands in washrooms while touching almost nothing? Samuel Ryde, a British photographer, pays homage to air blowers
