Andrew Aiello

Born and raised in snowy Syracuse, New York, I fell in love with film while studying at Syracuse University’s Newhouse School. Since discovering my love for cinema, I have continuously been inspired. I love this medium so much and believe wholeheartedly in its ability to make you feel.

I believe being a Cinematographer is about balancing the creative with the technical, and letting the former dictate the latter. I spent years in camera, grip, and electric, and I pride myself on my technical foundation. But, it's the story that drives me, and I feel my strength lies in my ability to let the script, and the Director’s vision, guide my visual strategies.

Being creative and pushing boundaries collaborating with others is what I do this for!

I am a proud member of the International Cinematographers Guild, and an honored recipient of a 2021 ICG Emerging Cinematographer Award.
