There is a special atmosphere in Oaxaca, the "hermosa" Oaxaca, during the Dia de Muertos. It's not just a traditional party. It can change your perception of life and death. How it happened to me.For this reason I don't want my photographers to take pictures that anyone will do there. We need to get into a particular state of mind, in order to get a portrait that is not just a portrait or a photo that captures a certain energy, because we have entered in depth, respecting the celebrations and the people of Mexico.

I was able to reflect on what, why, and how I photograph. This trip was not a superficial tourist view of the Day of the Dead celebration.
