My first time shooting with Gino and at Rochester Studios, and it won't be the last.

It was well organised with knowledgeable re-enactors with authentic WW2 uniforms and equipment.

Gino is friendly, willing to offer advice if asked for, or happy to just hold a light if needed.

I look forward to shooting at the studio again.

Had an amazing Sunday after being invited to a group shoot to mock up top of the pops. You'd think in theory this would a sort of muck about, but it was a totally pro shoot where you are encouraged to give your all by Gino's good natured enthusiasm and energy. He can really direct and focus these events in just the right way, which is a pretty rare quality. Thank you for the invite, I would work again with you in a heartbeat, the opportunity to do this work in such an atmosphere is just a pleasure.

Really thrilled to be invited to this shoot by Gino, got the chance to do some great vintage shots with a talented crew. Attention to detail and a realy great, energetic atmosphere are always part of these shoots. Recommended!

Always great fun to work with Gino. He's full of ideas, many of which are formulated in advance but just as many off the top of his head when he's in full flow. Always great results.

Another great shoot with Gino, whenever he has ideas for a group shoot I hope he gives me a shout because I know it will be fun. As I have said many times if you do get a chance to have a shoot with Gino, take it. Oh and there is always coffee with or without milk and sugar.

Today I had the pleasure of working with Gino on one of his amazing group shoots. This time I played a character in the cast. The theme Gino had set was that of the true story of the Untouchables. Gino has great vision, studies his themes with incredible detail and brings the characters in his shoots to life with amazing photography and editing skills. The day was awesome. Gino is a great guy, true professional and incredible photographer. It's always a pleasure to shoot with him no matter what side of the camera I am on.

My very first attendance of a Themed Photo shoot organised by Gino at the Rochester Studio where Gino planed and orchestrated a number of scene scenarios from the film "The Untouchables" With a number of actors and a few photographers to capture the imagery from each set. Working with Gino was a wonderful experience. Gino's ability to plan and organise various Themed scenarios and locations for actors and photographers to participate and enjoy their hobby/profession was a pleasure to participate in. Very highly recommended as a photographer, studio owner, director and collaborator. A thoroughly enjoyable day Gino, and I look forward to joining again some time soon. Many Thanks - AlexW

I had the pleasure of working with Gino yesterday on an idea I had for a while now, what can I say except wow!

He has been an amazing sport in doing what it takes to capture some amazing images based on alternative concepts.

From a few glimpses I can already tell this is a winning shoot as I’ve gotten all I wanted and more!

His and Paul’s ideas were totally cool too which I’m very excited to see once finished!

Pre coms were a great, same for during and after, I felt respected and comfortable throughout and his confidence in me was infectious.

Highly recommend working with him!

Truly hope to shoot with him again soon.

Today I joined Gino to play a part in one of his excellent group shoots, playing the part of a wealthy business man, being conned by a femme fatale. Spending time with Gino, whether as an actor or a photographer is always a pleasure and I am honoured to call him my friend.

Had another shoot with Gino today, and as always it was great fun. Gino did some head and body shots for my portfolio before getting down to some fun. Gino always comes up with some wonderful ideas for a shoot and today was no exception. The shot involved........well take alook at his page to find out once he has uploaded the images. Look forward to working with Gino some time in the future.

Working with Gino is always a pleasure. Not only do I get some amazing photos, but I also get to do shoots in situations I would have otherwise never experienced.

It is always an experience to work with Gino and I can't wait for the next one!

Thankyou for having me!

I had my first shoot with Gino , and it was amazing.

We shot in hes studio in Rochester which is where I used to live so was nice to be in old surroundings.

He made me feel very comfortable from start to finish , always asking if I would like a drink etc and making sure I am comfortable throughout the shoot .

We had the music on which was great ,we had so much fun the whole day, It is definitely up there with my favorite shoot.

Looking forward to working with him again in the future . I recommend Gino to any model .

Thanks again Gino .

I had such a fun shoot with Gino. He’s a great energy and gets some fantastic shots. He made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. Had a giggle with the music and singing! Eased me right into the shoot and new we’d get some great results. Would highly recommend Gino and I hope we can shoot together again soon

Shooting with Gino is always a pleasure and great fun, whichever side of the camera I am on. Today I played a part in one of Gino's great group shoots. The theme was a 1970's cop show. Gino had gone to great lengths to get the mood, casting and ideas for the shoot spot on as always. Despite awful weather to shoot in, everyone had a great time. Gino is a great photographer, has incredible vision and I am really pleased to call him my friend. Thanks Gino for a great day. If you have the opportunity to work with Gino, make sure you take it.

Once again I was part of one of Gino’s brilliant and wacky group shoots, I always love being a part of them as I get to see so many old friends and meet various new people too and we always have such a laugh!

This time round I played a murder victim and then had to be dead for a while too and it was a rather hard task at times when you have such wonderfully funny actors but although I spent most of the time lying on a bed with my eyes closed (it’s a hard life!) I had a great time and always really admire the range of actors that Gino gets for his shoots!

It’s always such a pleasure to work with Gino, he always has such a great energy on shoots even when he’s outside in the pouring rain taking shots of everyone!!!

If you haven’t worked with him either on a solo shoot or as part of one of his group shoots then YOU NEED TO honestly they will become like another family and each group shoot is just amazing in it’s own way as well!

Thanks again, and until next time!! :D

I recently had the pleasure of working on Gino's Kojak themed shoot.

I must say that despite the weather being awful, the day was well planned and the actors were full of enthusiasm for the shoot.

Thank you Gino, I hope I get the opportunity again.

Last Sunday, I worked with the wonderful Gino on a Kojak themed shoot. As usual, Gino had every. Detail attended to including a genuine New York police car and the Lower East Side backdrop (Chatham in the rain). Backed up with the wonderfully talented cast, it was a joy to work for him again.
