As Time Passes
One of the things I love about the genre of still life photography is, never having to compromise my vision. Working with inanimate objects allows complete control and total freedom. I am not dependent on anything. I capture the image using digital medium format equipment, together with a photographic technique known as ‘light painting’. This technique produces really rich colors and detailed textures. This technique is as intrinsic to my work as the subject matter itself. The coalition of the genre of still life, and this unique technique, enables me to give full expression to my inner world.
It was many years later, during the Covid pandemic, that Remer’s passion for the still image was rekindled and he returned to his first love - photography.
Influenced by the early Metaphysical and Surrealist painters, Remer has developed his own unique visual language which is garnering him awards and recognition.

entry description
My work focuses on existential issues which I express through still-life compositions. Often I begin with an image in my mind and then search and source the required objects and materials needed to create the image. Sometimes, I may come across a certain object or material that inspires me to create a specific image. Either way, it usually takes me days or sometimes weeks to arrange the composition before I am ready to photograph it. I place and position each element within a hairsbreadth of where I envision it to be. Every crease in fabric, or twist in rope, is intentional. By precise arrangement and juxtaposition of objects and materials, I charge my compositions with symbolism and meaning.One of the things I love about the genre of still life photography is, never having to compromise my vision.
