Gino is a great photographer and shoot organiser! I took part in my first shoot with him for Halloween based around the film Stigmata. Communication before the shoot was excellent and he planned the day so well that everything ran like clockwork. It was a busy day with lots of scenes to shoot in different locations and set ups and lots of SFX make up applied throughout the day - Gino was constantly checking in to make sure I was happy and comfortable and spent just the right amount of time capturing each set of images. He was clear and enthusiastic in his direction and happy to roll with my suggestions too. The whole atmosphere encouraged creativity and confidence to just go with it, especially when acting the creepier 'horror' scenes. Gino edited the shots brilliantly and got them back to us all really quickly. I would definitely recommend shooting with Gino.

I had the privilege of working with Gino this afternoon for the first time. I don't know where to begin! From the moment we met, he was so so welcoming and had such a fun and relaxed attitude. He went above and beyond throughout our shoot to ensure a variety of props and sets were incorporated and took extra time abs effort to perfect everything to help create the best images possible.

He gave me direction and was so patient and bubbly. I can't praise him enough and would recommend him to anyone who wishes to have a fun yet professional shoot. His work is outstanding and I am so excited to see the images we captured this afternoon.

I sincerely hope to work with Gino again in the future. He is superb!

Gino is a fantastic photographer, organiser, and creative light. I loved working with him once more and be part of the magic he creates. Thank you Gino.

Today I had the pleasure in being involved in another of Gino's amazing projects. This time Gino was shooting a number of film episodes, based around bizarre and humorous court cases. I had a part to play as a Police Officer. As always, the shoot was fun, well organised and I got to work with an amazing cast of actors. Such a great day Gino. I can't wait to see the results!

I’ve just had the great pleasure of working with Gino again on a film about a court room comedy which involved 20 other models.

Gino cast me as a police officer which I really enjoyed – probably shows I’ve spent too much time watching Traffic Cops on TV. It was great fun – Gino kept us all on track and had put a huge amount of work into making the production possible.

I’m very much looking forward to seeing the finished result. Thanks Gino, as always, you were FAB and look forward to working with you again soon. Highly recommended

Working with Gino and his partner was a professional delight.

This was my second shoot with this legend and as mentioned, won't be my last.

We established a mutual interest in a new style of film making and involve 20 other likeminded artists and collaborate together a series of 'episodes'. It was such a refreshing experience to improvise and I highly recommend Gino.

I have worked with Gino lots of times and it is always fun, professional, well planned and often surprising! This time Gino was directing his second film and I played a witness in a court scene as well as a member of the jury (quick change of clothes and the addition of a wig needed!) I am always delighted to be cast by Gino as he is well prepared, reliable and lovely to work with. Thank you Gino and hoping I get to work with you again soon!

Yet another of Gino's wonderfully creative photo projects. In this case we had a cast of actors playing various criminals, accused of dastardly deeds, being arrested by the Police and tried and sentenced. I was the (somewhat eccentric) Judge who still lived in the time of hanging and pre-decimalisation of the currency. Cue some rather bizarre judgments! As always it was a hoot working with Gino and a lovely bunch of very talented and funny people!

If you are lucky enough to be asked to take part in one of these events - do it! Gino is fabulous to work with. I am really looking forward to seeing the results!

What an absolute pleasure it is to work with Gino, whenever he ask's if I want to get involved in one of his shoots I never refuse if I am available Today, I along with about twenty others were involved in small courtroom sketches, and as usual it was fun from start to finish. I have said many times that if you get a chance to be involved in one of Gino's shoots, take it. Here's to the next time.

What an awesome day. Another one of gino shoots. Thought I was prepared for what was to be thrown at me. Oh was a wrong, nothing like what I thought but it was amazing as usual

A second fabulous shoot with Gino and his itinerant team for East End Crime Story. Not just part of the story, but also the audience combining direction with improvisation. We bowled with laughter all day long. Working with Gino’s creative anarchy is just fun, fun, fun.

I Shot with Gino and Paul Stone and Rochester studios

Gino was already there when I arrived and made me feel instantly comfortable as soon as I walked through the door, through out the shoot we had such a laugh but maintained a level of professionalism. As we shot on the hottest day recorded (40°) gino kept making sure to check in with me and made sure that I was cool, hydrated and comfortable at all times!

The images I've already got back are beautiful and I can't wait to see more..

I would 100% recommend Gino and hope to work with him again soon

Shooting with Gino is always a pleasure. Fun, exciting and interesting. Gino and I shoot together often and we always have a great time, whichever side of the camera I am on. Today Gino set up an FBI/American Police style shoot and we had a great time shooting in the studio and on location. It's a really good to be able to call Gino my friend. I would highly recommend shooting with Gino as an actor or model.

Mark Davidson

Well what can I say? Gino is exactly, if not more than the legend I have read about on his site as well as on here. The man delivers everything you hoped for. On point with the shots, communication from before, during and after the shoot was perfect, and as a final pitch, the results are phenomenal!

Highly recommended and will be compelled to work with Gino and Paul for another shoot again soon!

Working with Gino Cinganelli that was amazing experience I have had also, we learn a lot and we can see a lot progress at every second we are doing at the shot and pose!

Is passion, emotional, happiness…

Incredible feeling in front of the camera!

One of the best photographers I have seen in my life and I would recommend to anyone!

Looking forward to work with him if the opportunity and time comes up again!

You are ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Shooting with Gino is always a pleasure and great fun. Today we shot together with Holly Charlotte. We love bouncing ideas off each other and challenging ourselves with lighting set ups and shoot ideas. Another great day, with a beautiful model and good friend. Thank you Gino.

Holly Charlotte

I had my first shoot with Gino the other day and I had a great time! The studio was big with lots of different backdrops to use too! We ended up shooting for 3 hours which just flew by! Gino was so lovely and full of energy and we had loud music to sing too as well! I’d definitely recommend Gino and I’d love to shoot again soon!

Paul Stone Photography

I had another fantastic photoshoot with Gino today. We shot together at Rochester Studio with the lovely Alicia, who is not yet on Purpleport. As always Gino is great fun to shoot with, we bounce ideas off each other and the three of us created some great images. Shooting with Gino is always a pleasure and I highly recommend anyone considering shooting with him to take the opportunity. Thanks again Gino. Looking forward to our next shoot.
