In Focus is Archinect's recurring series dedicated to profiling the photographers who help capture architecture and who make the work of architects look that much better. In this series we ask: What is their relationship to architecture? Is there a difference between capturing a building versus capturing people? What are their thoughts on seeing their work on public platforms like blogs and Instagram?

For this installment, Archinect chats with photographer Jesse Rieser. Although Rieser wouldn't consider himself an architectural photographer, his recent series, The Retail Apocalypse: The Changing Landscapes of American Retail, captures the beautiful stillness and abandonment retail buildings can represent over time. Specifically focusing on rundown, commercial buildings in Phoenix, Arizona Rieser imbues expressive color palettes and geometric forms with a sense of nostalgia to give these structures a second life.
