Oaxaca's Enchanting Doors - Unraveling the Mysteries of Entrances




As photographers and a couple, Jason and I, Kirsty, have always been drawn to the allure of capturing the beauty and essence of different cultures; our journey through Oaxaca, Mexico, has led us to a fascinating and captivating subject—the doors that grace the city's streets. These portals promise stories, secrets, and mysteries of what lies beyond. Join us as we embark on a photographic adventure, exploring the enchanting doors of Oaxaca and delving into their significance as entrances to someone's life.


The doors of Oaxaca stand as timeless witnesses to the city's rich history and diverse influences. Each one bears the marks of the past—weathered wood, intricate carvings, and vibrant colours that speak of centuries of tradition. As we photograph these portals, we are reminded that behind each door lies a history waiting to be unravelled.


Beyond being mere architectural elements, the doors of Oaxaca offer us a glimpse into the cultural identity of its inhabitants. The designs, colours, and adornments reflect the unique heritage and artistic expressions of the people who call these doors their own. Through our camera lenses, we aim to capture the essence of Oaxacan culture and the stories woven into each door's design.


An undeniable sense of intrigue surrounds these doors—the mystery of what lies beyond. As photographers, we find ourselves drawn to this enigma, wondering about the lives behind closed doors. With each click of our cameras, we seek to preserve the sense of anticipation and curiosity that the doors of Oaxaca evoke.


In the crevices and patterns of the doors, we see the reflections of life's journeys. Some doors stand tall and proud, bearing the marks of time with grace, while others show signs of renewal and reinvention. These doors remind us that life, like the doors themselves, is a journey of growth and transformation.


As we roam the streets of Oaxaca, our eyes are attuned to the beauty surrounding us, even in the most ordinary places. The doors that others might overlook become our artistic canvas, offering endless possibilities for capturing unique perspectives and telling stories through our photography.


Exploring Oaxaca's enchanting doors has been a journey of discovery and wonder. As photographers and as a couple, we have been captivated by the significance these portals hold as entrances to someone's life—their history, culture, and the mysteries within.


As we bid farewell to the vibrant streets of Oaxaca, our hearts are filled with gratitude for the opportunity to capture the beauty and essence of these doors through our lenses. Our photographs are not merely images; they are gateways to the stories and lives that exist beyond the doors.
