Brian Distad Photography

Brian creates editorial, marketing, and portfolio imagery for interior designers throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

His approach is centered around light, using it to shape the mood, atmosphere, and character of a space while staying true to the designer’s vision. He’s a big believer in collaboration, planning, and preparation, working closely with each designer ahead of the shoot to create a thoughtful, cohesive set of images that captures the project as a whole.

When he’s not behind the camera, he’s usually with his wife, chasing after their three young kids.

Working with Brian was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. His work is truly stunning. Every image feels intentional, beautifully composed, and thoughtfully captured.

What I appreciated most, though, was his artistic perspective. He has a strong eye and a clear point of view, which made the entire experience feel collaborative in the best way. When I asked for input, he didn’t hesitate to share his ideas—and they elevated everything.

It’s rare to find someone who not only executes at a high level but also brings creative depth to the process. If you’re looking for someone who sees beyond the obvious and knows how to translate that into imagery, Brian’s it.

I just completed my second shoot with Brian and he is both very talented and incredibly easy to work with. Brian prioritizes the story telling process and has been great at guiding the process to fit the story I want to tell in the space. He even suggested photo options to fill areas in my portfolio that are missing. The photo sets are fantastic and working with Brian has easily become one of the best investments in my design work thus far.
