Bryan Gentry

Bryan Gentry’s got the kind of resume that makes you do a double take. The dude’s out of Newark, New Jersey, and he’s been behind the camera on pretty much everything—feature films, docs, commercials, you name it. Honestly, ever since he kicked things off as Director of Photography on Discovery ID’s The Perfect Murder back in 2013, he’s just been stacking up projects like it’s second nature. The man’s got this wild ability to make every shot feel deliberate—like, you know when a scene just *hits*? That’s his signature: bold lighting, sharp composition, and this knack for turning whatever’s in front of his lens into something you can’t look away from. His recent gig? Oh, just the Emmy-nominated doc series Stax: Soulsville, USA. No big deal. And if that’s not enough, he shot Luther: Never Too Much, which landed him a Black Reel Award nom for Outstanding Cinematography. So, yeah, the guy’s not just working—he’s getting noticed. What’s cool is how he handles everything, from legendary musicians to gritty real-life stories. He doesn’t just point and shoot; he shapes the vibe, gets right up in the emotion, and somehow brings it all together so you actually *feel* something watching his work. Bryan’s not about safe choices or cookie-cutter visuals. He’s out there pushing limits, making you see things in a way you didn’t expect. Bottom line: whether it’s music icons or raw narratives, he’s out here redefining what it means to tell a story with a camera—one killer frame at a time.
