Call Me To Love Me
This was taken in Cologne in November 2021. I was trying to find some brutalist churches that I'd researched so got the tram across the city. On the way back from the corner of my eye I spied this kiosk sitting in the park so jumped off that tram and bounced over the road to inspect it. My delighted peepers found this scrawled message on the handset from some presumably love-struck person who felt the need to leave this thought for the rest of the city to see. In my mind, it's a young girl who's fallen in love for the first time but maybe it's a young guy that's dealing with unrequited love. Who knows, but we've all probably felt emotions that were similar at some part of our lives.
Telephone Booths is a continuation of my debut series 'Hand Dryers'. Both series capture the everyday objects surrounding us that we fail to notice to examine what they say about us and the way 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
