If you prefer, you may send a personal check, but your place in the workshop is not secured until the check clears. The Gina Genis Photo Workshops space is limited to provide as much personal attention as possible, so reserve your place early. Non-photographing guests are welcome to join the workshop for an additional $100. Please email me if you are bringing a guest and I will adjust your tuition. $400 deposit due now, with the balance due by February 10th. If you are unable to attend, and cancel your reservation 60 days prior to your workshop date, I will gladly refund your registration fee, minus a $50 processing fee. There are no refunds for ANY reason after that.

The area of Laguna Beach is a vacation destination for the entire world because of its beautiful beaches, gardens, mission, harbor, shopping, and restaurants. Join digital photography instructor Gina Genis in Southern California for a 3 day weekend of fun and photography. I will teach you how to photograph waves breaking on the rocks, sunsets, scenic vistas, harbor boat reflections, birds, and much more. My goal is to send you home with images of photographic art, not just pictures. Secrets about shooting tips and equipment will be shared with you. Laguna Beach and the surrounding areas offer vast photographic opportunities for macro, wide-angle and telephoto lenses.This workshop will also incorporate using Lensbaby lenses and optics if you have them.  Learn how to use the pinhole, zone, plastic, double glass and singe glass optics for creative fine art effects. Possible locations (depending on weather and lighting conditions) will be Laguna Beach, Salt Creek Beach, Dana Point Harbor, Sherman Library & Gardens, the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary, and Mission San Juan Capistrano. You will learn how to edit your favorite images using PhotoShop to make the most of them.

Recommended Hotel: The Laguna Hills Lodge is conveniently located in Laguna Hills across the street from a mall with shopping, movies, and restaurants. It is reasonably priced and has a pool and spa. They serve breakfast in the morning so you will be able to "fuel up" before we begin the day. If you prefer something in the heart of Laguna Beach, feel free to check out hotels for yourself, but be aware that they will be about triple in price.
