Step into the heart of Oaxaca and discover the true essence of Mexico through your lens. In this exclusive 2-hour photography experience, we will explore Central de Abastos, one of the largest and most iconic markets in the country. This bustling marketplace is where Oaxaca comes alive every day vendors, families, travelers, and workers filling its corridors with colors, textures, aromas, and stories. It’s a place that provides fresh products to the entire city, and more importantly, it reflects the pulse of real, authentic Mexico.

Far from the polished tourist spots, Central de Abastos offers a raw and dynamic stage for street photography. Every corner reveals a scene waiting to be captured: vibrant piles of fruits and vegetables, artisans selling handmade goods, people bargaining with energy and smiles, and the rhythm of daily life unfolding in real time. The atmosphere is electric, filled with contrasts that make for powerful and unforgettable images.

You will be guided by an experienced local professional photographer, who will not only lead you through the market but also teach you how to approach street photography with confidence and creativity. Along the way, I’ll share my best tips on composition, light, and storytelling, helping you capture the soul of Oaxaca through candid portraits, dynamic street scenes, and detailed textures that tell a bigger story.

This experience is open to everyone whether you’re just beginning to explore photography or you’re already an advanced photographer, you’ll gain valuable insight into how to observe, anticipate, and capture authentic moments. You’ll learn how to work respectfully in a cultural context, approach subjects with sensitivity, and find beauty in the ordinary details that often go unnoticed.

Beyond the technical skills, you’ll also gain a deeper understanding of Oaxaca’s daily life. As we move through the market, I’ll share stories and insights about the traditions, people, and history that make Central de Abastos so important for the city.
