About Gino
as Ally sees him
Gino sees people in a way few others do.
He has that rare ability to pause time just long enough to capture the unspoken beneath the surface. His pictures reveal the depth of a person or the essence of a moment, bringing presence, emotion, and human truth into clear view.
That intuition, refined over more than thirty years, has earned him the trust of leading voices in media, entertainment, and culture.
His award-winning photography has been published internationally in such publications as Time, Newsweek, Billboard, and The New York Times. His clients include, Paramount, Sony, Disney, NBC, PBS, CARE International, and The Luther Henderson Scholarship Foundation.
He lives and works in NYC and Milan.
They first met over twenty years ago at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, in front of Botticelli’s Birth of Venus.
He—bold and smooth, as he tends to be—with that rare ability to read people at a glance, turned to her and asked: “Did you just step out of the painting?”
She laughed—loudly, as she tends to do—and something clicked.
What followed was an impromptu tour through the museum’s halls, a coffee shared between strangers who somehow weren’t, and a walk to the train station. At the platform, as she said goodbye, he gently corrected her: “If you want to see someone again, you don’t say goodbye. You say ciao. See you later.”
Since then, that see you later has stretched across years, countries, and countless conversations, into a deep, steady friendship that has now become a partnership to pair their sensibilities and create lasting imagery.
They come from different worlds and backgrounds, but speak a common language: storytelling through light, intimacy, and presence.
Together, they bring complementary perspectives and a shared pursuit of beauty to every project they take on.
Two voices, one vision, and a unique instinct for stories people can feel.
Gino is based in NYC, Ally in Milan, but depending on the project, they work together or individually, in Milan, in NYC, remotely, or wherever stories and beauty are waiting to be framed.
