My fine art photography deals with social, economic, and moral issues we face in our contemporary lives. The most recent series pose questions about the economy, aging in America, hoarding, our legacies, fractured memories, and the environment.

Take your digital photography to the next level.
If you love landscape, nature and wildlife, join me for a photography workshop in The Grand Tetons, Idyllwild, or Laguna Beach. Are portraits your thing? Spend a half day in my Perfect Portraits workshop and you will have a better understanding of lighting and posing techniques. Need to spice up your images? Try the half-day Creative Photography workshop. You will learn to make beautiful fine art photography right inside your camera. Let your imagination run free.

Regardless of your photographic interest, my goal is to send you home with an understanding of how your camera works and the inspiration and knowledge to make photographs you will be proud to share with others. Secrets about shooting tips and equipment will be shared with you. You will learn about white balance, metering, and using your camera's settings for each type of photo you take. Make your digital camera your best friend.

Included in all workshops is instruction on editing your favorite images using PhotoShop, Aperture, or Lightroom, and onOne Software.

These photography workshops are perfect for beginning and intermediate photographers. Many other workshops take up to 30 students. The Gina Genis Photography Workshops Are Kept Small To Provide Personal Attention. Click on the "Photography Workshops" link at the top of this page to get full details on each individual workshop.
