Daniel Remer is a London-born fine art photographer, now based in Israel, whose work explores the metaphysical and existential through meticulously crafted still-life imagery.

Growing up in London, Remer was captivated by the city’s art galleries and exhibitions. He spent much of his youth wandering the halls of the Tate Gallery (now Tate Britain), drawn to the quiet power of its paintings. The Metaphysical and Surrealist works, with their dreamlike stillness and strange, poetic worlds, left a particularly strong impression. These formative experiences shaped the way he would come to see light, form, and the hidden narratives within ordinary objects.

Drawn to photography at an early age, Remer’s creative journey led him from the darkroom to the cinema. He studied filmmaking at The London Film School, graduating with distinction, and went on to work for The Jim Henson Organization, contributing to high-profile films and television productions in the UK and the USA. Yet it was during the pause of the global pandemic that he rediscovered his first passion: the still image.

Central to Remer’s practice is his use of the light-painting technique, a method in which subjects are selectively illuminated during long exposure, building rich color and depth without digital presets or effects.

His work has been widely exhibited internationally, including solo and group shows across Europe and the Middle East, and has earned numerous awards from prestigious photography competitions.

Remer’s photographs are held in private collections, and he is represented by galleries in Switzerland, Israel, Germany, and the UK.
