Cost of the workshop: $2,850. $500 Deposit is due at registration checkout.

Photographing Oaxaca is a captivating journey through the heart and soul of Mexico's rich cultural heritage. This workshop is about the art of visual storytelling. We will photograph scenes of everyday life in the pure tradition of street photography, and also learn to see in a more contemplative way by observing, and connecting visually with our surroundings. During this workshop, Valérie will be accompanied by professional local guide Luis to give you the best possible cultural experience while Valérie focuses on your photographic needs.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced photographer, Valérie will help you capture the types of photographs you are aiming for. During the daily walks, Valérie will give you dozens of valuable tips and techniques that you will be able to apply immediately.
