Photography
Paul Reiffer gained specific media attention during his 3 year project focused on the Asia-Pacific region from 2012 to 2015. This work saw him recognised with a Fellowship of the British Institute of Professional Photography as well as being presented with the UN/UNESCO "International Year of Light" award for his images of Shanghai at night.
His work has been viewed across three continents – from the largest video screen on the planet in Times Square, New York, to the Royal Photographic Society's Print Exhibition in the Royal Albert Hall in London.
With clients ranging from high-end hotel groups such as W Hotels and Shangri-La, to National Parks, to airlines and marketing companies, his work has a presence in many countries around the world in both advertising and collectible fine art prints.
His signature iconic landscapes and cityscapes have been published by National Geographic as well as the international press and used by tourism boards around the globe, while he continues to sell limited edition prints to collectors worldwide.
Early life
From an early age Reiffer developed his interest in photography through spending time with his father, watching him develop images in a self-built darkroom in their family home.

Why this record matters
The phrase “british photographer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7153161. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2012, 2015, 2025 and 2022.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
