Congrats on finishing the course and thank you for sharing your photos.
I can tell you have understood and put into practice all that was taught in the course, well done! I am very impressed by the photos you took of people, they show a great eye for composition as well as storytelling. As a photojournalist I am very intrigued by the story behind these people. It would be amazing if you could do a photo reportage about them! Is this in Colombia? it looks familiar.
Technically speaking, I would have probably tried to use a higher aperture to separate your subjects from the background and get more light in.
Again, well done! Keep practicing and have fun!

Fabio, I love the image of the three ladies sitting at the bottom of the hills. I would love to know what they are chatting about. I love the details of on lady on the left with earrings in contrast with their hands which have worked the land. Are they related? What are they doing? I think a little tweaking to make the image have more contrast would work beautifully which is easily created but a great capture and along with the image of the gentleman connecting with the camera. That’s great light coming in on the left and the connection is strong yet soft! If that makes sense! Keep them coming!
@giulia_candussi thanks to you, for your charisma and teachings I learned a lot in a short time. I love photojournalism and ethnographic photography I would love to be able to do a photographic report if you have any document or information that could help me, it would be of great help. The photos are in Colombia, all in Cauca, a site that has long been attacked by the armed conflict, but that has people with extensive knowledge about its roots, food sovereignty, worldview and life. I hope one day if you come to be able to share a space in case something I leave you my instagram here I have the backpack trips @cronicas_del_viento . a big hug
Hello @debbiecastrow I greet you once again, of course if the photo of the 3 moms or grandmothers are from the Misak people, an indigenous community of Cauca, they are in the yatul (the yatul is a place for the misak known as one of the schools of teaching, where it connects with the earth and its crops, the phases of the moon to sow what for the West is the garden) but for the Misak it is a much broader concept that encompasses in their law of origin or their own thought. and the earrings of the grandmother if they are related since for them earrings, necklaces or handcuffs is synonymous with wisdom of wealth and wealth is in what the land offers them when cultivating it. On the other hand, what they are doing is growing onion, then they harvest it, clean them and then put them in bags to take them to the market and sell them or to leave them for food in their community, but while they do this exercise they can talk many things about the family, the community, the economy, the territory etc ...
Finally, I'm just starting to see the editing programs, so I haven't used them much, I hope to be able to use them soon. a big hug
