Ab 1972 studierte er an der Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien, Abteilung Film und Fernsehen (Filmakademie) das Fach „Kamera“. Noch während seines Studiums gründete er 1975 die FWG Foto Werbe GmbH. Über Werbe-, Industrie- und Architekturfotografie landete er 1984 bei der Flugfotografie und kehrte schließlich ab 1988 auch zur Filmproduktion und Regie zurück.

Der breiten internationalen Öffentlichkeit bekannt wurde Riha 1997 mit einer Dokumentation über den Stephansdom in der Sendereihe Universum des Österreichischen Rundfunks. Neben der Romy in der Sparte „Beste Kamera“ wurden ihm dafür mehrere internationale Preise verliehen. Es folgten viele weitere Dokumentationen über österreichische Monumente mit höchstem Qualitätsanspruch wie z.B. Glockner – der schwarze Berg, Schönbrunn – Quelle der Schönheit, Wachau – Land am Strome und Salzburg – Im Schatten der Felsen. Für die Weltausstellung in Hannover 2000 produzierte er den Film Visions of Austria und als weiteren Höhepunkt im Jahr 2000 den Film Tirol – Land im Gebirg mit Musik von Philip Glass.

The Cellar Lanes of Lower Austria - Wine Culture and the Pleasures of Life
Helicopter Camera
A Kellergasse – the cellar lane – is one of the distinguishing cultural and physical features of the winegrowing region Niederösterreich – Lower Austria. There are more than a thousand of them. Until recently, wine was not only stored in the Kellergasse, but pressed and fermented there as well. Today, the Kellergassen have less to do with occupation and more with recreation. A documentary by Georg Riha follows a year in the life of this valuable cultural legacy.
