Two days of shooting with Genius Gang and it was a phenomenal experience. From Magazine editorial shots to UV cinematic videos, I found myself in my creative element thanks to the genius of Eugene and the exceptional talent of the models involved.

Thank you! And I look forward to the next time

I'm adding a reference now, but this evening was something like my fifth shoot with Genius Gang in the last six months.

I don't know what it is, but there's something about Genius shoots that brings out the best in me. They're crazy, but beneath the madness there's a solid foundation of concepts and ideas. You work a Genius shoot, you're never sure exactly what you'll get, but you'll absolutely come out with something good, and despite the ideas thrown at you, there's always room for your own creative expression.

If you get a chance to work with Genius Gang, do so, you won't regret it.

I really enjoyed shooting with genius gang. Loved being part of a project with such a creative mindset. Relaxed friendly environment which made me feel comfortable and confident. Would definitely recommend and also work with them again.

Second shoot with genius gang, it was a last minute shoot but Eugene and spike (photographer) definitely pulled out all the stops to make it work! The images we got were so effective and just the overall night shooting with these guys was so fun it didn’t feel like work at all. Definitely feel like part of the genius family and I cannot wait to see the polished images for the mag ! Thank you again to everyone involved, I have so much time for you all and will definitely be one of the first to jump on more projects with you 🖤🖤🖤

110% highest recommendation

Hope to work with you in the near future ✌🏻🥰

Firstly, congratulations on the release of the first issue of the physical national magazine - Genius Gang Magazine (GGM).

(https://www.geniusgang.co.uk/store/p9/Genius_Gang_Magazine_Vol_1.html).

I have shoot with him and the Genius Gang on 6 occasions now.

Eugene is extremely organised, not only does he source a multitude of models and locations. He ultimately has a vision for each in mind for each.

He is just so full of energy, enthusiasm and talent. A true example of an artist and a creative.

I would definitely recommend Eugene and the Genius Gang, already looking forward to the next shoot.

Had my first shoot Sunday with the genius gang for their magazine. All I can say is I’m so happy and privileged to have been a part of this shoot, the pre comms were spot on with Eugene and the group which helped me be to be as prepared as I could with makeup and wardrobe, upon arrival there was a warm welcome from Eugene who was so friendly and polite it felt like I’d known him years, he showed me around the shoot location and introduced me to all the other models there who btw were the most amazing group of girls I’ve ever met and no doubt made some friends for life there. The whole shoot was so comfortable and chilled I felt right at home literally haha. I would 100% recommend working with the genius gang to any new comers, and I’ve already been given the opportunity to work with them again on a second shoot and I can’t wait ! Thank you to all involved it was a day I’ll never forget ❤️✌🏻

Had a fantastic time shooting!

Eugene is so lovely and made me feel really comfortable throughout the shoot. He was also very helpful and clear about what he wanted and how he wanted the shoot to be. His concepts of earth, space and the ethereal were great and I really enjoyed the shoot throughout the day.

Eugene is very professional, patient, friendly and overall an amazing person to work with!

I would definitely love the chance to work with him again and would highly recommend him.

Thank you! :)

Cannot rate highly enough. Incredible!

Eugene is one of the loveliest and most genuine people you could wish to meet!

He was fantastic at organising what content he wanted to shoot, including solo work as well as having me work with other models and a couple of photographers. He had numerous ideas, bursting with creativity, and was able to clearly express his thoughts and how we would bring his ideas to life.

He briefed myself and his photographers, explaining concepts, but then did give us free reign to play around and work on his ideas. Also though, he was present at all times to talk through any queries.

Eugene was enormously supportive and built my confidence. He was mindful of my inexperience, prioritising model welfare, making sure that I and the other models were all looked after and enjoying the shoot. It was a great day working with him.

I would love the opportunity to work with him and his team again! Thank you very much!

Had an amazing time shooting with Genius! They came up with a great concept that I was on board with straight away. Everything worked to Eugene’s schedule and we managed to get a ridiculous amount of content shot over two days! Our visions aligned really well so I’m sure we’ll be shooting together again on future projects.

Definitely recommend working on any projects with the Genius Gang

Amazing shoot! Thank u xx

It was an absolute pleasure working with Eugene & Genius Models on such a last minute but huge shoot with Ed Sheeran. After applying for the casting call Eugene was not only extremely professional, thoughtful, timely and kind throughout this entire process. But made sure to check-in throughout the day with everyone involved. I could not recommend him enough. I look forward to working with Genius Models in the future. This was a first but it definitely won’t be the last time!

These Guys were great, pulled off a fairly last minute massive Shoot. It comes no bigger than an Ed Sheeran music video and the team seamed so cool. Would happily work with them again, there Amazing...

After applying for Eugene's casting call, he was very quick to get back to me and gave up to date information quickly.

Such a genuinely lovely gentleman to have the pleasure of speaking to/working with!

If you get a chance to work with Eugene, then you absolutely should, he'll put you at ease straight away :)

Thank you for everything!

Had an amazing time at the Ed Sheeran music video thanks to Eugene at Genius - this was my first time working with them but won’t be the last ! I had all the information I needed prior to going and he was there at 5am cracking jokes and making sure I felt comfortable, he checked on me regularly through the day!

Look forward to getting some more things planned in!

They called upon me, they arrived, they delivered with masses of professionalism genius and hospitality. This is not the first time I've worked with Eugene and certainly won't be the last. These guys truly create an amazing buzz everytime I'm working with them and we always achieve some "genius" images guaranteed!

What a shoot. Eugine was prompt, on time and the shoot was well organised. He knew exactly what he wanted and the concept which I enjoyed. The fact he was so well organised ensured the shoot went smoothly. There was a mixture of photographers and videographers and lots of content was captured.

I would happily with with Eugine again and the content that was made was of a professional standard and I really really did enjoy working with him.

He’s funny charismatic and you will get some fantastic content

It's been a while since I've worked with Eugene on a project and I can say he's lost none of his infectious personality and enthusiasm.

My role was BTS videographer and everything was well organised and ran like clockwork making my job very easy indeed.

Eugene also has a talent for finding great models for his shoots, hope to work with again soon.

This was my first time working with Genius and right from the get go he was very professional and made me feel comfortable.

Has some amazing ideas and arranged the day very well, all the photographers and film makers knew exactly what to create from the mood board as he was very prepared.

Would highly recommend to work with :) !

I was brought in by Genius to photograph a second event for them. This one was spectacular, even by their standards, they had arranged two buses on locations, and six incredibly talented models.

Throughout the day, despite the challenges, the shoot was organised to perfection with no issues, which is completely down to the dedicated and professional way Genius works.

Eugene had a very clear vision and was able to provide everything needed to make sure that amazing vision was realised.

Managing a large team in an effortless way was impressive to witness.

I would highly recommend Genius.
