I'm Alin Rizea, and ri-al (/ˈrēál/) is my work.

I believe the most compelling images are born from quiet observation. I'm drawn to those in-between moments where light finds its way into a corner, a space breathes naturally, and someone forgets they're being photographed. That's where the real story lives.

My photography is crafted to tell an authentic story. It's a style perfectly suited to define the vision of luxury hotels, premium brands, and the considered work of architecture and interior design firms. This same thoughtful approach extends to individuals and couples seeking Portraits & Lifestyle, creating bespoke, editorial-style sessions that elevate their personal story into a classic, magazine-quality experience.

Based in Bucharest, Romania. Available for commissions across Europe.

If you have a project in mind that values a thoughtful and intentional approach, I invite you to connect.
