Take It. Fruit Machine.
Fruities. British fruit machines. I've found myself in the world of fruit machine collectors. A niche within a niche, by their own admittance. These guys are extremely passionate about their machines, some of which are hanging on to existence in their ones or twos right now. It's only these guys keeping them alive, plus a few dedicated shops around the country. From my point of view, the illustrations are unique. I still find them intimidating, I don't understand them, but their design intice you in, you can't help press the buttons even if there's no credit. But look at these hand-drawn designs. All these machines in this private collection are 70s/80s, mostly 80s, and the most sought-after go for a pretty penny. I love looking at them, the sounds and mechanics of them. As a kid, I remember being mesmerised by them, and to be honest, it had been such a long time since I'd seen this many that I had forgotten exactly how powerful the enticment is. The constant sounds of 'play me play me play me'. I can't resist the colours. I really want a deep dive into this theme.

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.

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
