ABOUT REINHARD

Luxury hotel and resort photographer Reinhard Westphal on location setting up a complex interior shoot

Creating architectural imagery on location.

​

Reinhard began his career in Switzerland, specializing in aerial and close-range photogrammetry, where he developed a rigorous understanding of structure, perspective, and spatial accuracy. He further expanded his expertise in geospatial imaging with Hansa Luftbild Air Surveys across Switzerland and Germany.

​

That foundation in structural geometry evolved into a distinctive focus on architectural, interior, and luxury hospitality photography. Today, Reinhard combines technical precision with a refined artistic eye, creating sophisticated, impactful imagery that respects architectural intent while articulating each property's distinctive character and brand identity.

 

In July 2026, Reinhard was named one of the 5 Best Architecture Photographers in Dubai by Wonderful Machine, in recognition of his distinctive and precise approach to architectural and hospitality photography.

​​

In luxury resort photography, the art is just as important as the architecture. Reinhard carefully considers light, shadow, texture, and form to capture each property’s collection with precision and depth.
