ARCHITECTURAL & INTERIOR PHOTOGRAPHY
Recent Work
These projects come from recent work for architecture, engineering and interior design firms and the builders who apply their craft and dedication to those buildings. The work covers civic and public safety buildings, workplaces, hospitality and retail spaces, banks and homes, photographed across Pennsylvania, from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, and throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Eastern Midwest regions.
About Me
My name is Brian Riedel. I shoot the built world.
I started in 1998, after studying Graphic Design with a minor in Photography at the Pennsylvania School (now College) of Art & Design in Lancaster. I loved the darkroom: the smell of the chemicals, the excitement of watching an image spring to life in the tray. I was hooked.

Frequently Asked
On Costs: “Most projects start around $1,250. Pricing is based on the number of finished images and how they will be used, so a single interior and a full campus are quoted differently. When more than one company wants the same images, the cost can be shared.”
For Manufacturers: “Manufacturers often find their products in projects I’ve photographed. Those images can be licensed for the manufacturer’s own marketing. The license is separate from the architect’s and is sized to its use, from a product page to a catalog or campaign.”
On Awards Submissions: “Many of my projects go on to award submissions, including AIA Fierro, Architizer, and the Architecture MasterPrize. Booking early leaves time for proper coordination and planning of your project. And final editing and delivery before the entry closes.”

Reflective Thoughts
Most of my thinking about this work happens outside the busy part of a shoot. It happens on the drive to and from a location, and in the second or two before a frame, when time seems to slow down and I’m deciding when to make the picture happen.
I write most of those thoughts down on my blog, Thoughts. And talk them through on my YouTube channel, The Reflective Photographer.
