Oaxaca Día de Muertos Photography Experience 2026 More than a decade leading Día de Muertos photography expeditions in Oaxaca October 30 – November 2, 2026 - Oaxaca, Mexico

AN IMPORTANT NOTE

This is not just another Día de Muertos photo tour

If you are looking for a photography expedition in Oaxaca during Día de Muertos, there is an important distinction to make.

By September and October, most serious photography expeditions in Oaxaca are already sold out. You may occasionally find a place because someone has cancelled, but generally the available options are:

• More expensive than my expedition.

• Led by a photography instructor who does not necessarily photograph alongside you. In my expedition, I am there with you, photographing, observing and working in the field alongside the participants.

• Focused on creating photographic opportunities rather than experiencing real documentary and street photography. That can mean using models, staged situations or arrangements specifically designed to produce photographs.

• Led by people with little real connection to Mexican reality, sometimes approaching Mexican culture through an outsider's or even colonialist perspective. I have lived and worked in Mexico for more than 15 years, and I have been documenting Día de Muertos in Oaxaca since 2015.

• Missing many of the elements that I deliberately include in my expedition: access, local knowledge, transportation, accommodation, meals and, most importantly, the experience of photographing Día de Muertos from within its cultural reality rather than simply photographing it as a spectacle.

This is why I don't see my expedition as simply another photography tour.

You are not coming to Oaxaca to be shown some good places to take pictures. You are coming to experience and photograph Día de Muertos with someone who has been returning to Oaxaca for more than a decade, understands the culture, knows how to work respectfully in the streets, and is there to photograph with you.

That difference matters.
