Brendan Bilo is an American cinematographer from Baltimore, MD, USA. His first short film was Hurry Up and Wait, under the direction of Joey Snyder in 2023. His love for photography began when he inherited vintage Nikkor and Vivitar glass from his family and learned film photography while shooting digital at a professional level. He enjoys using soft and vintage glass in his films, as they remind him of his start as a photographer and cinematographer. Brendan has a background in editorial photography and is known for "finding the frame" in seemingly ordinary settings.
