Ben Brady is a Los Angeles–based director and cinematographer whose work blends visual poetry with emotional precision. He’s drawn to projects that feel human — grounded in real connection, yet crafted with intention. Whether he’s directing a sultry tequila spot or shooting a kinetic brand piece, Ben’s style is raw, rhythmic, and unmistakably personal.

He began his career in the camera department, spending nearly a decade learning the craft under icons like Darius Khondji, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Sam Bayer. That hands-on experience shaped his collaborative, crew-first approach — one where trust, tone, and timing matter as much as the frame.

“I’m not big on small talk — I want the work to feel honest, vulnerable, and alive. If it doesn’t move you or scare you a little, it’s probably not worth doing.” — Ben Brady

In 2023, Ben was named to SHOOT Magazine’s New Directors Showcase, and has since emerged as a go-to for campaigns that need both style and soul.
