Brian Riedel is an architectural photographer based in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. He works across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, photographing for architects, designers, builders, and the trades that bring their projects to life.

His focus is on what a building was meant to be — the intent behind it, the work that went into making it real, and how the space is used once it is finished. He pays close attention to the details that often go unphotographed, like the terrazzo, the lighting, and the millwork, because those are usually what make a space feel finished.

His work moves from new commercial construction and historic renovation to hospitality interiors, corporate environments, and the trades-and-materials documentation that often goes unseen. Aerial and exterior perspectives, hotel and resort imagery, and professional headshots round out the practice.

Each project starts with a conversation — with the space, with the people who built it, and with the client who needs the images to work.
