andrew aiello is a los angeles based photographer working with 35mm film and digital.

as a social introvert, his desire to engage with the world has always been at odds with his need to escape it. photography grants him the ability to do both.

in an age where we spend so much time glued to screens, the real world sometimes seems to speed past us at rates we can’t comprehend. not limited to certain subject matter, aiello loves how photography, especially when shooting film, allows him to slow things down and be present with the world around him. whether it be a macro shot of a flower or a wide shot of a bustling urban market, his frames help him process life.

he hopes that his images can transport people to a place, time, or feeling where they have some space for themselves.

aiello is also a cinematographer, working in features, commercials, and music videos. you can view his work at drewaiello.com.
