Photo Genius

We offer courses and workshops that cover the basic concepts of digital photography and how your camera works.

Set up in 2008 by photographer Paul Farris to help others improve on their photography, the company was originally know as 'Learn Photography' but later changed to 'Photo Genius' in 2012.

We host weekly courses in Brisbane at the South Bank Parklands and keep the group sizes small so that everyone gets plenty of attention and guidance with plenty of opportunities for asking questions.  Private One-to-One sessions are also available.

We offer courses and workshops that cover the basic concepts of digital photography and how your camera works. Our courses are designed to unravel the confusing jargon and take you from 'happy snapper' to confident photographer by showing you how much more can be had from your digital SLR camera - no prior camera knowledge required.
