Why collectors love it
A fine art street scene at the Bank of England, the heart of the City of London's financial district, captured in Sambraus' signature style. 'Public space is used in a form of "time-share" to keep the peaceful coexistence of that many people; it is occupied, and briefly owned, by individuals and their surrounding personal space, and then immediately given up to be available for the occupation of another person. In my photographs, I try to show that space, and also a photo, has a time component: multiple exposures of the same space, made over a few minutes up to half an hour, are combined to a collage in which the individual time layers, and also persons, penetrate each other'.

About the artist
Daniel Sambraus is a British/German photographer, based in London since completing photography studies at the London College of Communication in the mid-90s. With a deep background in photojournalism and studio still-life stock photography, he has spent years concentrating on the "perfect" image with maximum detail and resolution. Moving away from commercial photography and concentrating solely on personal projects since 2018, he is now more interested in the abstract aspects of the world around us, often working with a mirror-image technique to isolate architectural details and create imaginary urban spaces. All photographs are for sale as limited editions. His work has earned him a place on the British Photography Awards shortlist.
