Oaxaca Photography Workshop Sneak Peak!

On my last Oaxaca photography trip an earthquake violently shook the whole region, but the state capital remained largely unrattled. Its centuries-old colonial-era buildings holding strong. This is a town so rooted in tradition that even the onslaught of western modernity has to make compromises. Indeed, this is what makes Oaxaca such a magical place. It manages to find a balance between the modern and traditional worlds, inhabiting both gracefully.

Oaxaca Photography Workshop

As a photographer, there is much to love about Oaxaca. It’s a town that proudly, and enthusiastically, embraces a full schedule of religious festivals. These events bring together communities from all over the region dressed in beautiful and intricate traditional outfits. These festivals snake through the colonial streets lined with 400-year-old buildings, each one more rustic than the last. And all of this happens under the shadow of Monte Alban. The ruins of one of the great founding cities of Mesoamerica. 

This particular Oaxaca trip was a road test for my upcoming Oaxaca Photography 2020 Workshop. Special thanks to Daniel Spencer, Fernando Cruz, Angel Cristobal and Angel David who helped organize the shoots.
