About Real Thiel Media //

I’m Ash Thiel, the founder and lead photographer behind Real Thiel Media. I started the company in 2019, but my relationship with photography began much earlier in 2003 when I first picked up a camera and discovered the power of visual storytelling. What began as a creative outlet has grown into a focused practice rooted in craft, intention, and connection.

My work lives at the intersection of architecture and photography. I’m deeply drawn to the way spaces are designed, built, and experienced - and to the people who bring them to life. Whether I’m photographing a thoughtfully designed interior, a new build, or a completed project, my goal is always the same: to capture the character of a space while honoring the vision behind it.

Collaboration is at the heart of everything I do. I don’t see myself as a vendor, but as part of your team - working alongside architects, builders, designers, and real estate professionals to create imagery that supports their goals and elevates their work. I believe the best visuals come from trust, communication, and a shared respect for the process.

At Real Thiel Media, every project is approached with care, consistency, and a genuine appreciation for beautiful spaces and the stories they hold.
