My private street photography tour with JP was a highlight from my trip to Oaxaca. JP was incredibly kind and patient and extremely talented. He gave me so many little tips and tricks on how to capture the story and setting of the streets and people of Oaxaca. And at the same time, he taught me about the culture and life in the city as well. I would definitely recommend any tour with JP. Spend time with him!!

We had JP do a magical shoot for us right before sunset across beautiful Oaxaca. What started as a couples session - since we were there on our babymoon - turned into the most romantic maternity shoot. JP is a true artist with a vision unlike any other. He’s fun, easy to pose for, and wonderful to spend time with. We really appreciated his energy, creativity, playfulness, and storytelling. He gives clear direction while also collaborating with you, making the whole experience feel natural and personal. In just two hours, we shot in four different locations around town (and a few hidden spots in between!). JP guided us through the streets, shared stories about the neighborhoods, and introduced us to incredible places we wouldn’t have found on our own. One of us works in the arts, and we can confidently say JP is the real deal. Don’t hesitate to book this experience - it was truly special.

I bought this experience for my wife and she loved the service offered by Juan Pablo. His makeup artists are very friendly and talented, and he himself is very cool, friendly and helpful, which helped her feel super comfortable in the photo shoot. We recommend Catrina's Photoshoot to anyone who wants to feel special and have incredible memories of such a beautiful Mexican tradition.
