Genesis Falls, known as Geno, is a Chicago-based film photographer whose black-and-white work captures the raw essence of humanity. Inspired by childhood moments with her grandfather’s instant camera, she pursued Cinematography at Flashpoint Chicago and now focuses on unseen stories and unfiltered lives. Exhibiting at spaces like Evanston Art Center and as part of the Black Women Photographers collective, Geno earned the 2023 Black Women’s Photography & Flickr Grant. Influenced by Gordon Parks’s philosophy, she uses vintage cameras to create intimate, tactile images that honor resilience and challenge viewers to reflect on humanity’s shared beauty and strength.
