Capturing Excellence: The Unparalleled Advantages of Hiring a Professional Architectural Photographer

Written by and in collaboration with Mila Olson of Adobe Express*

In the world of architecture and design, the value of a professional architectural photographer cannot be overstated. Their ability to capture the essence and beauty of a structure transforms mere buildings into pieces of art, conveying stories and emotions through their lenses. This article hosted by Brian Riedel Photography delves into myriad benefits of hiring a professional architectural photographer, illustrating why their expertise is indispensable in showcasing architectural masterpieces.

The Art of Seeing: Professional Vision and Expertise

Technical Mastery and Creative Insight

Professional architectural photographers possess a unique blend of technical expertise and creative vision. Their understanding of composition, lighting, and perspective allows them to capture images that accurately represent the architectural intent while also adding an artistic touch. This dual skill set ensures that the photographs not only document but also enhance the architectural subject.

Advanced Equipment and Techniques

Architectural photography demands specialized equipment - high-resolution cameras, wide-angle lenses, and sometimes drones for aerial views. Professionals come equipped with this gear, alongside the knowledge of advanced techniques like RAW image editing and panoramic stitching. This arsenal enables them to overcome common challenges in architectural photography, such as capturing vast structures in their entirety or dealing with tricky lighting conditions and drastic color temperature variations.

More Than Just Pictures: The Impact on Business and Perception

Enhancing Marketing and Branding

In an industry where visual representation is paramount, high-quality photographs are essential for effective marketing and branding. Professional architectural photographs can significantly elevate portfolios, websites, and promotional materials, making them more appealing to potential clients and investors. This visual allure can be the deciding factor in the highly competitive architecture and real estate markets.

Accurate and Engaging Storytelling

Every building tells a story written by the architect and brought to life by the tradespeople and craftsmen and women, and a professional photographer knows how to tell it. Through their lenses, mundane aspects of a structure are transformed into engaging narratives, highlighting unique features and design philosophies. These stories are not just captivating; they also provide a deeper understanding and appreciation of the architectural work.

Building Credibility and Professionalism

Utilizing professional photography reflects a commitment to quality and professionalism. It demonstrates an understanding of the importance of presentation, which in turn builds credibility with clients, peers, and the industry at large. High-quality images signify a pinnacle approach to architecture and business.

Maximizing Impact with Adobe Express: Sharing Your Architectural Photography

Adobe Express simplifies social media sharing, offering features that allow users to directly post their images to various platforms such as Instagram stories and Facebook ads.

Hiring a professional architectural photographer brings an array of benefits. Their technical expertise, artistic vision, and professional equipment enable them to capture the true essence of architectural works. The resulting images are not just photographs; they are powerful tools in marketing, storytelling, and brand building. They reflect professionalism and attention to detail, qualities that resonate with clients and colleagues alike. In the architectural world, where first impressions are often visual, professional photography is not just an option; it’s a necessity.

Almost Went Down the Rabbit Hole…

It was Saturday morning, and I decided to watch YouTube. I know, it can be a rabbit hole sometimes if you're not careful. But I have Apple TV and can stream it there, it’s a new thing for us since we got rid of cable and started streaming all of our content. But this morning I went into it with the idea that I would watch it with purpose, that I would sit there and watch two or three things that might have meaning and purpose to what might be going through my head at that moment.

I found a “show” or series that Netflix posted to YouTube called “Abstract-The Art of Design”. From what I can gather after two episodes is that it’s a series about artists or creatives. In different fields sharing unique stories about their journey, their art, and the way they express themselves in that medium. And what it means to them, from that perspective. It’s really very insightful….and thought provoking (we’ll get back to that).

So, the first was about a portrait photographer who I really did know anything about, but who’s work I recognized from magazines he has worked for and organizations he has worked in collaboration with. Platon Antoniou, but, known by the art world as just Platon. His story was inspiring, made me question my work in a good way. He had humble beginnings as an immigrant (like most all of us, in some form or another), from the Greek Islands to England. Dad an architect, Mom an art historian. His father would take him to building and say “look at the rhythm, look at the fenestration, look at the sense of human scale. How does that relate to us?” That thought struck a chord. His upbringing allowed him the opportunity to discover his inner person, that and the fact that he got beat up for nothing more than being a foreigner in a different land. From that broken body and defeated spirit arose a person with empathy. he spent years after, taking pictures that went against the grain of the status quo. As his reputation grew his core stayed the same, he was always interested in the person, telling their story through his connection with them.

We’ll get back to that.

The second was a wonderful story of Ilsa Crawford, an English interior designer who got her start after university to work as a studio manager in an architectural firm. Then on to an to a couple of editorial staff and editor jobs at some pretty cool rags (magazines) [Architects’ Journal and Elle Decoration]. She was interested in having a conversation with her readers, seeing thousands of interiors, having those conversations on how those spaces worked and what her readers thought about those spaces. And so, her first plunge into interior design came, after she left Elle Decoration, at the behest of Nick Jones, offered her the chance to design the interior of his SoHo House hotel he was putting together in the UK. And so her interior design studio grew, but always with the notion that interiors she and her team designed continued to speak to her clients and have conversations about what works and what doesn’t to make that space about the human experience. That human connection within the structure.

And hold that thought.

And I follow soccer, football to the rest of the world. I am a fan of our Philadelphia Union in MLS, and the MLS is doing pieces on some of the players in the league. One player in particular, from my club, was interviewed and his story was equally inspiring. Coming from Columbia, moving to the states with his parents, playing soccer was all he knew from a young age. But as he has grown and as he nears retirement, he knows that he has to make a life for himself after his career in soccer has ended (which I fear is soon, his contract ends after this season). He has diversified himself and is working in multiple fields: from Entrepeneur of a business venture in NYC to working with a graphic design firm. He wants to explore his passions and interests and be in a position of transition, to a life after sports.

We’ll get back to that too.

Right now.

It was kind of ironic that found these series, honestly, or that I found these videos at this moment. Because, I have been questioning and trying to best understand my storytelling through the images I create, and what my process is, and how to improve on that idea. You see in commercial architecture you are constantly training yourself to see the lines, the structure, shooting for the perspective, showcasing the intent of the design, etc., etc... But I always want to dig deeper and find the who, what, why of the design, the form, the process to get to where the design and implementation of the construction of the building suits both the designer, architect, and their clients. I mean, for someone, from some company, to come to a firm and say hey, we want you to design us a building to [fill in the blank]. We need it to [fill in the blank]. And we want it to [again… fill in the blank].

And that is where I am trying to position my work as a photographer, to not only help firms document and showcase their best work. But I want to build a story, to tell not only the beauty and thought behind the design and the application of that design in the build. But also to tell the story of the conversation that happens between the first email/phone call/meeting and when the keys are handed over to the client with that fresh new paint smell. Thats the meat and potatoes (coming from the vegetarian) kind of story I want to draw out of my images. I want to show the “why did they design this?”. The “What purpose did their client want the structure serve, and to what end?” The “How does the space get used as an interaction with the people that inhabit it or use it?”.

Their stories inspired me to dig deeper, look harder, ask questions and discover what the story is all about. To be in a place where I am ready to make choices in my career, to take a leap of faith and plunge neck deep into my passion. To make a choice and follow through with my decision as a photographer at large and to serve the clients I have and those I have yet to meet.

I am closer every day, in writing my story of independence, and being able to help those who call on me.

Year In Review-2022

I was absolutely floored going over the images these last couple weeks. I mean, I never thought that in year three I would be posting this much work, to say I have been blessed this year would be an understatement. New clients, new places, and new spaces- all make for a lot of opportunity.

And I would be ashamed if I did not mention this…. I could have not, however, made it through all of this without the best support system of my life- my family. More specifically, my wife. She has been solid through the last four years, through all the changes and re-direction, and uncertainty. She has weathered all the storms with me- by my side.

That said I was crazy busy this year, managed to on-board some new clients, and continued to service my existing clients. All while going to some really beautiful places, seeing some amazing sunrises and sunsets, and putting on a lot of miles to each of those locations. Some of my clients include Tuskes Homes, WKL Architects, Hasenstab Architects, PW Campbell, Speedwell Construction, Knights of Columbus, and Muzo Furniture.

PW Campbell

PW Campbell was one of my first new client additions. And they came on in the early part of the year, but for me early was around April and the first shoot coming by the end of May in Painted Post, NY. From that initial phone call with Eric, I was amazed to see how fast things would progress. With them I have traveled to five states, visited nine different locations, and had the pleasure of meeting and working with their clients to make all of these shoots go off without a hitch.

Williams Kinsman & Lewis (WKL) Architects

While I had worked on one project for them in 2021, the bulk of the projects came in 2022. Six projects made up my workload for them this year. The last of these projects came at the doorstep of the redesigned corporate offices and manufacturing facility of Pride Mobility and their two corporate entities Quantum Mobility and Pride Mobility in Duryea, PA. The project was a massive campus that was redeveloped in the likeness of a collage campus to allow for community and comradery amongst the employees (at all levels). The CEO wanted his team to feel as one and allow for growth by communing and working and playing side by side. With an on-site fitness center, a massive cafeteria with access by all levels, and open corridors that intersect and join all departments.

Speedwell Construction

Speedwell Construction came on after some early communication in the middle of the year which led to positive conversation and allowed for a project to be captured in the fall for their client Chipotle. This was a small project as the store was only a couple hundred square feet. This new design was beautiful and true to Chipotle’s current design theme. Speedwell did a wonderful job designing and building this new restaurant. New projects to follow for 2023.

Hasenstab Architects

Hasenstab Architects reached out to me to capture their new designed and completed office space in the community of Lawrenceville just outside of the city of Pittsburgh, PA.

Muzo-Works Furniture

This was an interesting conversation between me and the owner of the company during the initial phone call. He thought I was looking to find employment in their company, and I was trying to get work through them. So, we both had a good laugh and found some time to make some work for each other. It was a great afternoon and I got meet a lot of new people in the industry and mix and mingle and took some pictures for them to promote the brand-new facility here in north-east PA. Fingers crossed I get the chance to do some solid work for them in the new year.

Tuskes Homes

So here we come to Tuskes Homes. They are a construction/design company for residential community housing. Christa reached out to me in the beginning of the year to talk about having me do some work for them on a recurring basis to capture their community construction progressions for each house or style of house that they build. They asked me for a quote, I obliged, they accepted, and it’s been around twenty properties to date (give or take) with multiple stops at each location during the course of any given build. to say this has fun would be an understatement. I have had a blast mucking around job sites after hours, on weekends, doing what it is I do. In the cold, in the heat. Sunny days, cloudy days, and rainy days. it’s allowed me to learn a thing or two about the build process in the residential construction industry. It’s also afforded me the opportunity to play with angles and fuss around with my process. It has helped me sort out somethings that have made me a better photographer for it.

Before I wrote this post out tonight- I spent the last few days working out what I wanted to say, how I wanted to say it, and what pictures I wanted to use. Then this afternoon happened. My wife and daughter were hand-making some lovely pasta for Christmas Eve dinner tomorrow, the TV was on with Apple music playing. I sat down and watched the lyrics come across the screen, sounds started coming from my mouth (I love to sing, lol). And as I was singing and jamming out to GnR, and Bananarama, and Tears for Fears, some of the lyrics resonated with me. I kept thinking about my year and the lyrics and the year and the lyrics and the….well you get it. I felt really proud of all that has happened, how I grew as a photographer, and how I want to attack the new year.

As I was writing this post, I was still feeling a bit gitty (like I was still a little kid at Christmas) over the work that I’ve had the chance to photograph, the people I got to meet, and the growth that has come to my business. While it is small in the number of jobs compared to other photographers, it is solid growth. Growth I’m very proud of, growth that makes me smile because I made this happen. Being a human, being kind, sharing an interest in the client’s work, and wanting to help.

Now that I have my marketing plan in place with my friends at Wonderful Machine and their knowledge in getting the right clients in front of the right creatives and vice versa. And the fact that I now have this post written out, and the website is chock full of new images for the new year. I can now take a little break before I get back at it again… as early as next week, lol. But I will stop this week, smell all the good smells around me, enjoy all of my family and revel in their joy and happiness over the holidays- it’s the fuel that stokes my fire and keeps me moving forward, to follow dreams, stay the course- you know all that jibber jabber we here over the years that are supposed to keep us motivated. But I do get motivated, because at the end of the day while I want to produce stellar work that brings clients back and draws new clients even closer. And because I provide a service to them that allows me to help them fulfill their needs by capturing beautiful design. I want my family- my wife, my children, to be proud of me. How they view me, how they look at my life when I’m old and worn out and can’t do this anymore. I hope I’ll have shown them that by following those dreams, and staying their course, they can truly bring their own happiness.

So, here’s to a REALLY great 2022, thanks for everything! And here’s a hopeful, even optimistic, look into the future, in 2023. May we find each other in good spirits, share in good company, and get the best out of every opportunity in the world. I’m already gratefully looking forward to it.

Have a wonderful holiday season and we’ll see you in 2023!!!!

A Wonderful Surprise

Since it’s been a few weeks since I last decided to make a post (even though that one was JUST written yesterday). I have wanted to make this post for some time, because it’s exciting for me.

Since I have started down this road and and have made the headway I have, I’ve been and wanted to be - connected to a number of different memberships and organizations. One was the PPA - a great organization that truly supports and connects with their community of photographers on every level and allows them to grow and explore through numerous facets of that organization. I’m not a member of them anymore, it’s a me not them thing - I broke it off, sorry PPA. And then there is the ASMP - another fantastic group that I was a member of, and again want to get back in with (I’ll be back there someday).

There are two organizations that I am CURRENTLY members of. The first one is the AIAP. It is run by Alan Blakely of Salt Lake City, UT. Not only is he a fantastic photographer in his area of the country. He started this great organization to better catalog and make available the architectural photographers across the US! I have been a member since the beginning of the year and have been very pleased with everything that has happened because of it. Thanks Alan!

And then there’s this group of creatives. This has been the monster I have been chasing down for the last two and a half years. This is the one that I am so excited for. I tried two times before to become a member Those two times I failed. But I took the feedback I received each time and came back stronger. They were moments to continue to learn and grow. You see, at that point in my journey, I wasn’t ready for what was about to happen. I wasn’t ready to take on the challenges that would come my way, good challenges. So on the third try I got my act together made all the changes, did all the work, created the images I needed to to grow my brand and develop my skills to make the compelling case for admission. I submitted the work, waited two days to hear back (luck for me I submitted the day before they reviewed that weeks submissions), and received the email I had been longing to receive.

Not that this group is my end-all-be-all! But I felt that this was my measuring stick. This was a way for me to see where I was on my journey, to see how far I could have come, and how much further I had to go.

So because of the work. Because I decided that me, I - myself and my work were worth the effort. I am now proud to say that I am a member of one of the biggest, commercially creative, and established organizations in the US - WONDERFUL MACHINE! Since July of this year one of my goals for the year plan have been met, and since then I have continued to grow! My work has improved - not because of them directly, but because they have given direction, allowed me to focus, and been there as a support to guile me as I make decisions as to the direction and course I want to travel. As I grow it’s because of the WORK I do, and the SUPPORT they have given me. I had chosen to take on having a creative coach to push me into getting out of my comfort zone. I have been nothing but pleased with how that relationship has developed, Andrew is like my second set of eyes. He is a creative director by trade so he sees what I don’t. He gives me guidance, and allows me to discover while being there in the background. He even endures my constant email barrage of questions and feedback.

So this post is an announcement of sorts, even though the badges have been on the website since I was accepted. And a thank you to my team of support at Wonderful Machine for everyone’s hard work at making me more aware, more visible, more marketable, and more prepared to do and handle new, harder projects. And become a better photographer. Thank you Wonderful Machine!

2021 so far…

So here we are, literally 8 months through the year and I have had the blessing of a renewed opportunity and growth. I had two emails back in January, while still in lock-down so to speak. One was a small job, for an engineering firm in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, wanting me to shoot a paving project for them at a warehouse facility near me. So of course I jumped on the opportunity for work! I mean I had one job ALL of 2020 - shooting paper products (yes you guessed it - toilet paper, paper towels, and napkins). And the second was one that would take some time. The projects had been completed back in April of 2020 but the firm was hesitant in hiring a photographer during the pandemic. But once the snow melted and the green came back in the spring (that’s what took so long), I was out in Pittsburgh shooting three hospitals for PhiloWilke Architects by way of Houston, TX!

I mean I couldn’t believe my luck - two firms. In the same week!?!?!? If I can be honest, I wasn’t really sure how this year was going to go? Was I not going to see any work this year? How fast would it come back? Would it come back? Would I have to close shop for good? I was nervous as most all of us were. But I held out hope for, better, brighter days.

Since then I’ve seen some projects come my way - real estate, commercial work, architecture, etc.. Companies like Nexii, and Little Leaf Farms have put their faith in me and my work. And have become long term clients of mine because of it. All of this has not happened by chance. But by me putting myself out there. Making things happen, making phone calls, sending messages and emails, making connections. Getting myself in front of the people that make decisions, and in front of the companies I want to work with and have as clients.

And as fate would have it, things have kind of progressed, and have come back to almost normal. As part of my businesses growth I am no where near where I want to be. But if I’m being honest again - I very optimistic! I have my one year, two year, and five year goals. So we will keep going at it everyday - making phone calls, sending emails, making connections, getting myself in front of the people and companies I want as clients in the future. It’s slowly happening, but it’s happening. And I’m so very grateful for every opportunity that’s coming my way.

Growth

I am sitting here in my studio contemplating what to write this week. When I look around I see all of the things that I’m surrounded by. Things of my childhood, my wife’s childhood, our kids childhood. And things of my life together with my wife. Things from my photography and the business. And all of that, to me, comes under the definition of growth. We grow up, we do things in life, we have successes and failures. We get older, wiser, and grow. And then we get old.

Everything that has happened in my life, as it happens in all our lives, is growth from an external force or an internal desire to be or do something good. To mean something, to matter. We all strive to grow up, make it through high school, get through college (if that’s what you want to do), find a career that we are passionate about. Live life, have a love, find some success, and have some growth.

But as I’m looking around, I see what I have given my children so far. Knowledge I’ve passed along, skills I’ve taught them, love we share as a parent, and things we’ve done together as a family to make memories. I’m thinking about all of this because our youngest is sitting ten feet away from me playing Fortnite, growing up before my eyes and being the last one to leave the nest (five years away!). Just last weekend we sent our middle daughter off to college on the opposite side of the state to study culinary. And just this morning, I spoke to our oldest son who’s stationed in Detroit with our US Coast Guard. It seems to me that everyone is right where they need to be. Right?

Is that because of of me? Or my wife? Or is it the choices our children make on their own? Ultimately I think its their choice to do what they like. What they want out of life. Or what they need to do because of their passions. I would like to think that it’s because of our influence, our guidance, into what’s right and wrong, that has allowed them to make solid decisions about their lives. T make good decisions and healthy choices for making them into a better, more whole, individual. To do good things in this world, in their lifetimes. To leave it better than we left it for them. And so on.

So as they move on, grow up ,and start out on their own to leave their footprint on the planet. I look to continue on and grow personally, spiritually, professionally. To get better as a photographer. To continue to help my kids grow themselves and develop into good people. And continue to have a solid relationship with my wife—my partner—my best friend.

But—-right now I have my youngest talking to me about gaming, and computers, and Fortnite. I believe its time to spend some quality time and have some more growing moments and be the cool Dad today!

Film and Digital Photography Coexist

View fullsize

Well years ago, back when film photography was king and digital was just a twinkle in some engineers eye at Eastman/Kodak. I was introduced to photography. Simple as that, I learned, trained, developed (my skills and film), and became one with the 35 mm world. For me medium and large format photography was for the studio houses, the serious professionals! I was just a young guy learning it all. And to top it all off, it was EXPENSIVE! Again, a young guy, just out of art school.

So I took my 35 mm camera (an old Pentax), bought a second camera (the Canon Elan 7) and started on my road to wedding photography. As time moved on, so did my interests and from that I finally made the transition to digital buying my first digital camera Canon T2. Both served me well. Both taught me lessons. But it wasn’t until I made the move a few years ago into the world of Sony cameras that it really took off for me. With Sony there were so many options, so much more learning from their platforms. But in the end something was missing. Something felt unfinished, incomplete… I wanted more.

I wanted to be able to experience what I did when I shot film. But I wanted what the big guys and girls had. So last month, I know only a month ago, I made my first big purchase. I went back to film!

I understand its film, and with all of the technology out there I could have had my pick of some pretty amazing cameras from some spectacular platforms. But what I wanted they didn’t have. I wanted the romance, the richness, the consistent inconsistency of film photography. Working that much harder, taking my time to meter the light, composing the frame for the right shot, and getting only one or two chances to get it right.

Some may argue that I made a bad choice. But that’s where their opinion and mine differ. I feel that for me while technology is beautiful and amazing and almost endless, it leaves something out of the frame. It makes great images, but when the point of the task is to get as may as possible and pick the best out of 100 options (of the same thing). Then I feel that what you gain in pixels you loose in true image quality. Now I won’t be putting down and packing up my Sony anytime soon, I will be picking up my Canon FD and Mamiya RB67 a lot more.

But those are the lessons we learn through life and photography, to slow down, create and live in the moment.

Who Am I…?

But who, am I? I mean really. Who am I? To have a dream. A goal. A vision. A business. A website…A blog?????

I think about these things all the time. I mean, whats the big idea Brian? Why should you start, or even pursue this dream. For this long. Yeah, it’s been a long time to be developing this vision. I spent the last three years ( the last 20 in total), brainstorming seeing what this business could become. I’ve spent countless hours devoting myself to be a better photographer. I’ve taken countless courses on being the best businessperson I know how to be. And all the while, devoting all my remaining time to be the best husband and father I can be everyday. All while working a full time job, helping support this dream and creative passion, hoping for the business to start thriving on its own.

For what? A passion, a love, a feeling. Yes, that’s what I’ve been doing this for. I have had a passion to create since I was a little kid, drawing sketches and doodles in a scrapbook that my Dad got for me to play in. In high school, creating and fostering the love I had. In art school, finding an outlet that spoke to me with the click of a shutter! Since I could walk I have been creating. Dreaming, envisioning something, and putting pen/pencil/crayon to paper to capture that idea. It was though all typical though really, the passion was the crutch, the struggle, the thing that held me back. The fear, the dread, the worry that my work would not be… good. But here I am, forty years later, and the dream is coming alive.

But there is so much more to who I am from the struggles and business sense.

If you’ve read this far, I am assuming you’d like to know more about me?

I’m a funny guy—-a dry sense of humor (think of a modern day version of Monty Python). I like to have a good time. I like to have a laugh. My wife is my best friend, and we do everything together. She has been my support through all of this. And I her’s as she has taken on the many challenges of being a school teacher. I have three great children, of whom I am so very proud of. One is in our United States Coast Guard, one is a senior in high school, who in the fall, will be pursuing her career’s education in the culinary field at The Indiana University of Pennsylvania. And my youngest, who challenges me to be intelligent and quick to a video game challenge or to teach him how to do something-build something-or cook something (he loves to learn and be engaged).

When I am not capturing images for clients I can be found on date nights with my wife, walking in the woods, leaning new things, and woodworking, and I also like to bake and cook. Yeah I’m pretty handy to have around the house. And really just doing anything including a watching a good movie or reading an even better book.

I’m sure these posts will get better as time goes on. But I wanted to use this post to share with all of you a little more about myself. I usually don’t like talking about me, so this was kind of hard (I’m humble). But I hope you choose to stick around and follow along with the journey, I’m ever growing, evolving, and changing. I’ll be posting again soon. Mostly about all things photography, other times about life. Every time though I’ll post from my heart, it’s where my passion lies.

All the while, doing what I love to do. Creating images with a camera. Thank you for reading.

Kind Regards
