Today I spent an incredible few hours on another of Gino's epic group shoots. This was a little different as Gino was filming the event and I was both real photographer and character photographer for a Funeral and Wedding shoot! Needless to say the shoot was a blast. We were all in stiches from start to finish, with an unbelievably talented cast of character actors. I cant wait to see the finished film! Thanks Gino, for another amazing day.

It is always such a joy to work with Gino, so I was delighted when another shoot was planned. Once again it was very different to anything before, and Gino's meticulous planning shone through yet again. The shoot was wonderful, and was over far too soon... or so we thought ! Ha !!! always surprises with Gino, but the one at the end on this one was very special and will stay with me forever. Thank you Gino for all your hard work. Gino is brilliant.

Gino has honestly become such a great friend of mine now and due to that I just knew I needed him to help me out with a shoot idea that was very special to my heart and included some incredibly special people in my life that I have grown closer with due to some of Gino’s amazing group shoots he does so for that I just want to say thank you for all you do and have done for me and for helping come up with such a fantastic way for me to ask my two best friends to share my wedding day with me!

Gino is not only full of such creativity and surprises, but he has a such a kind heart and I always feel safe and happy working with him!

Thank you so much for an amazing day and for helping film it too so I can cherish the moments forever!!! 🥰 xx

Had another shoot with Gino recently at a Lavender field that we tried going to last year but they had harvested it meaning we were too late, so this year we tried again and were in luck!! :D

I always have such a great time working with Gino, and it just feels like spending time with a mate rather than doing a shoot, and as always the time just flew by of course!

I'm absolutely LOVING the photos I've seen so far and looking forward to seeing more!!! Thanks again for a fab evening, and looking forward to seeing you again very soon! x

Had a great shoot with Gino recently doing a football style shoot and although footie isn’t really my thing I still had such a laugh and surprised myself with some of my “talents” haha!

It’s always fab working with Gino, he’s become a really good friend of mine and we can always come up with some cool ideas together, and the shoots always fly by as we have so much fun!!

Always highly recommend working with him, you will be guaranteed a different but fun shoot I’m sure!

See you soon! :D

Gino is a fantastic photographer and guy to work with, on time, very organised, meticulous to detail, has an eye for stylish shots, work with diverse styles and uses great lighting technique. Had photos back that day, had done outdoor shots before but not done studio for years. Really enjoyed the experience and Gino helps people feel comfortable too, cannot recommend him any high enough.

Working with Gino is always a pleasure and great fun. Today we shot a Resident Evil themed shoot. Gino's enthusiasm for shooting is infectious. Attention to detail is always spot on and whether working as a photographer or as a character at one of his amazing shoots I always have a great time. I am already looking forward to shooting with and spending time with Gino on the next shoot. I would highly recommend working with Gino.

I was lucky enough to get to work with Gino this weekend for 2 days!!!

It was awesome to say the least. I love working with Gino- always excited for a visit.

We did a group shoot this weekend themed around Resident Evil in a nearby location - Gino had a great breif and was clear and concise in the images he wanted to portray.

Its great to work with someone who is so dedicated to characters, location and creating the perfect image

Thank you Gino for having me - as always - i hope to see you soon!!!

I've attended shoots with Gino before both at his amazing studio and on location. And he has always been really friendly, welcoming and supportive of a novice photographer. Today I was in front of the camera for the first time and it was just as good. Clear guidance, supportive, enthusiastic and extremely creative.

I was extremely excited to get to work with Gino again, and he didn't disappoint. Clear brief, creative,dynamic, and professional. I enjoyed every moment - thank you Gino.

Gino asked me to come and help him out cataloguing all his costumes and of course I jumped at the chance to get back in the studio again... oh it was fab to be back!!

It’s always fab working with Gino, I had a crazy morning and honestly wasn’t feeling a shoot that day at all but Gino soon turned that around and we had a great time full of laughs and the time just flew by like it always does!

Thanks so much for a fab shoot and I look forward to our next one!! :D x

I was thrilled when Gino messaged me and asked if I would like to play a role in another one of his excellent group shoots. This time I was a prison guard alongside Bizz, and our role was to keep contact with a bunch of criminals on a chain gang. Pre-communications were spot on and I knew what to bring with me and the details of the shoot beforehand. Gino provided all of the costumes including props such as shackles and chains for the criminals and shotguns for the guards. We then marched around the woods, which was a perfect location for this type of shoot, carrying out different scenarios. It was so much fun and it was so well organised that the whole shoot just flowed really well from start to finish. Gino made sure everyone was okay throughout and his energy and enthusiasm is certainly contagious. The photos are amazing as always and I highly recommend that you work with Gino if you've not done so already :)

I had no idea what to expect when I arrived for Gino's shoot today, but I knew I was not going to be disappointed, and indeed I wasn't. Today I was part of a chain gang, toiling in the hot sun and watched over by vicious and psychotic female guards. It was a fantastic shoot as always. He was as energetic, enthusiastic and bursting with ideas as ever. As always I thoroughly recommend working with Gino.

I absolutely love working with Gino. The energy and effort he puts into a shot are just amazing. Yesterday he cast me as a member of a prison chain gang being abused and shouted at by two amazingly sexy prison guards! Gino was his usual self, whooping with delight as he captured another magic shot. Honestly, if you get a chance to work with him you must! It is an experience you won't forget!

Bizz

Another amazing photo shoot with Gino. He was so organised and prepared. Had everything ready for me and clear instructions on where to be and what to bring. Had such a fun day being a guard in control of a bunch of inmates on the chain gang. Gino is an amazing photographer who captures brilliant photos. Would highly recommend working with him.

It is always a joy to work with the ineffable Gino, so when the opportunity arose to revisit the wonderful Rochester Studios, which is getting more and more wonderful every time I visit, I knew I was going to have a fabulous day. Studio shoots have been out of the picture for several months, but cracking into the work was seamless. Gino has seemingly endless physical and artistic energy. He is always thinking ahead, knows exactly what he is trying to capture whenever shooting because he is always thinking, and consequently is astonishingly quick when setting up a new set up. His direction is swift and clear, and so the sheer volume of work that he accomplishes in a relatively short time is incredible. He is also an incredible guy. I cannot recommend him enough.

I have known Gino awhile now as one of the partners within the Rochester studio group but had yet to of had the pleasure of working alongside him until today.

We shot at a derelict location in kent that was pre scouted to give drama and rawness , i think we achieved with the aid of our model MissC from on here.

Gino is an utter gent to work with , very professional , warming , thoughtful with a very creative eye who is shooting one but planning 3 shots ahead in his mind.

I would highly recommend working with Gino from all aspects of this business , wether you model or your a mua or designer you will end up with great results and of a quality you can look back upon with a smile and a proud memory.

Thank you Gino for being such a valued part of the team.
