I am a freelance photographer born and raised in Venezuela and currently based in Tempe, Arizona. I created this website as a way to share my passion for world cultures, travel, and art, with all those who believe that photography is more than a simple reflection of light on an object: it is an attempt to capture the diversity and beauty of humankind’s varied cultural expressions. This site presents a wide portfolio of my favorite images taken over many years during which I have lived in, and traveled throughout, different regions of the world. You will also find a secure on-line shopping feature where you can purchase high quality prints. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by my site, and hope that you find the visit pleasurable. If you need to contact me with questions or for special projects and assignments, please email me at Gina@GinaSantiPhotography.com. I will be delighted to hear from you!
