You need to call findViewById() on rootview:

import android.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.Button;

public class PhotoFragment extends Fragment {

    public Button mDeleteButton;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_photo, container, false);
        mDeleteButton = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.deleteButton);
        return rootView;
    }
}
