Brian Riedel
Pennsylvania, USA
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.

Ross Woodhall
London, UK
"Most people know me primarily as a ski photographer, which is fair, the mountains have been a big part of my life and my work for many years.
But alongside that, and for more than 20 years now, I’ve also been photographing interiors.
I’ve always had a real interest in property and architecture. How spaces are designed, how people move through them, and how light shapes the feeling of a room. I’m often drawn to the quieter details: the line of a doorway, light settling in a corner, or a view framed from inside looking out.
I’ve really enjoyed developing this side of my business.
If you have a project you’d like to discuss please get in touch, we run a full service production company to take care of every step required to make your property photo shoot a success."

Creative Citadel
Sydney
This once Salvation Army Citadel is now reincarnated as a space where ideas can flourish. Creative Citadel.
With carefully considered floor plans, Creative Citadel offers maximum space flexibility for designers, content creators, stills photographers, film makers, and more to work efficiently together. The spaces are also ideal for film and stills shoots, short run art exhibitions, events, workshops, meetings, even health and wellness classes, pop ups or activations.
"We like to think of Creative Citadel as a luxe space. A space that does not feel like an office or a bland white studio. A space that could be someone’s well-appointed home or a boutique city bar or hotel that has been instagrammed way too many times.
When you walk through the arched door you go on a small journey. Traveling from a cool bar reception to an open event space. Stroll a little further and you will find yourself in a shoot space. And if you look closely you will find hidden edit suites and makeup rooms.
The best thing about the Citadel is that all of the spaces can be whatever you want them to be. Or better yet: the spaces can be whatever you need them to be."
