Noemi G.’s students in El Alto, Bolivia are continuing their photography projects during a difficult period around La Paz, where roadblocks and transportation disruptions have affected daily life and the course schedule.

The photographs in this update show students practicing more than camera technique. They are learning how to notice: where to stand, how light changes a scene, what details matter, and how familiar surroundings can become visual stories.

From students working with cameras to landscapes, city edges, and everyday moments, the images point to a growing visual language rooted in the students’ own environment.

We’re sharing this visual update as encouragement to Noemi G.’s cohort as they continue building their skills and move toward the final stretch of the course.

More student perspectives

To share a broader view of what the class is seeing, we added several more student images from the same body of work. Together, they show students practicing in the landscape, noticing the city around them, and using photography to study color, structure, and place.
