Join me for a relaxed, small-group adventure in the heart of Oaxaca during Carnaval—one of my favorite events to photograph. We’ll dive into the vibrant energy of street parades, mezcal tastings, and rich local culture.

I’ll be guiding and teaching photography along the way, helping you capture the magic of the moment, whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting started. It’s all about fun, creativity, and plenty of mezcal in a close-knit setting. Come ready for an unforgettable, laid-back experience!
