Juan Pablo is a very knowledgable and accommadating professional photographer who is willing to get to know you, your needs and work with you like a friend you have known for a long time. I love takinv pictures and would see myself as quite good in capturing stuff, but this session just pushed me to the next level with a few tips he shared with me. All in all if you would like to have your photography skills improved, make some unique memory of your Oaxaca trip and just have a good time, book this!

It was an exceptional experience, my partner and I were a little sad but from the first minute Juan Pablo made us feel comfortable and confident, he is a very kind, pleasant and patient person, we are very happy to have chosen him as a photographer to capture that important moment for us, I recommend him and I would definitely look for him again for another session, in addition he helped us with recommendations and tips to be in the city

Juan Pablo is a true professional with a wonderful eye for detail. Part of my photoshoot were boudoir photos and he made me feel very comfortable the entire way through. He ensured I had the best lighting and instructed me when needed. He let me flow and be myself and encouraged me along the way as well. He showed me some of the photos he was taking in real time and I was amazed at how beautifully he captured me. I went with the absolute right photographer to help me chronicle my 40th Birthday. This photoshoot was easily one of the major highlights of my time in Oaxaca. THANK YOU Juan Pablo for everything, and when I come back with family, there's no question that we will schedule you for another photoshoot. YOU ARE AMAZING AND WORTH EVERY PESO!!!

What an incredible experience with the most talented photographer!!! Juan Pablo clearly has an eye for beauty and art and made my photo shoot with a group of 8 friends so special. I am blown away by the quality of the photos he captured, and forever grateful for the memories he has gifted me from a milestone birthday weekend in Oaxaca. This is such a great and unique experience to do either solo or with friends/family, as these are moments that are impossible to capture without the perspective and lens that Juan Pablo has. He was so friendly and excited from the very start, and his positive energy made the photo shoot everything it needed to be. Thank you for the most beautiful photos and time together!!! Highly recommend booking this
