"Ciro, RAVE REVIEWS from everyone here at the magazine after they've seen the photos from our shoot. I love how collaboratively you work! It really makes for a fun, creative and productive day. The creative spirit stayed with me all weekend. The cover is just FABULOUS!! OUR BEST COVER YET."
Tracy Smith Reed – Creative Director, Santa Barbara SEASONS Magazine
“Ciro – Your photos are crazy good – better than I have seen anywhere and I’ve been around. I was wondering about your meticulous detail and your set up time and demands for perfect light – now I understand. The properties we have developed at MariSol for the World’s most discerning property owners require impeccable attention to detail. Your photos not only exhibit that detail but magically enhance what the eye sees taking it to another level of art and beauty. Amazing – simply amazing."
Richard Morris, Developer – MariSol at Malibu
"Your work is arresting, Ciro. When I see your photos I feel like I have to pause and soak them in."
Christopher A. Manson-Hing, AIA – Principal, Manson-Hing Architecture
“Ciro has the eyes of an architect and the heart of an artist. His vision evokes a new world of possibility for the beauty of the built environment on our planet. Ciro captures the subtle variances, moods and shifts of the most important material in architecture…light. Ciro can find beauty wherever he points his camera toward, sometimes in the most unexpected situations. No matter what you give him to photograph, he will make of it a stunning image.”
Robin Donaldson, AIA – Principal, Shubin+Donaldson Architects
“Ciro is more than a photographer. He is an artist who, with his eye, can add a dimension that most of us miss. Architectural Photography can be disappointing because it is asked to do something it cannot: convey the three dimensions in a two dimensional format. Ciro’s art goes far to bridge that gap.”
Andy Neumann, AIA – Principal, Neumann Mendro Andrulaitis Architects
"Thank you, Ciro. Your work makes me proud of my work."
John Mike Cohen, Architect
"Ciro, these photos are beyond stunning! I am in awe of your abilities and creativity. You are unbelievable!!!!!!!"
Thomas Schneider, AIA – Senior Associate, Barton Myers Associates
"Ciro's lecture at my Architectural Photography class was truly inspirational. My students are used to their speakers being all about business, estimating, digital techniques, etc..., but Ciro was different. He surprised us all by focusing on what truly makes his work great: his passion and love of the craft! How refreshing to hear him share what so many of us often loose touch with in our careers."
Russ McConnell – Faculty, Brooks Institute of Photography
“I love Ciro’s photos of Paris. They exude a sense of quasi-Proustian suspension of time. He sees the city like a Parisian.”
Christophe Igor, French Historian, Professor
“It felt like I took a trip to Paris. Ciro has captured the City of Light, its lovers and cafés. Thank you for this Sunday morning surprise bearing the taste of a Parisian croissant.”
Gary H. Brown, Artist, UCSB Art Professor
