We have recently returned from Jose Villas Workshop in Mexico and can’t sing enough positive praises about the whole experience. Big thanks to Jose, Joel, Cameron, Anna, Gene, Anne and of course Lacy. We met so many wonderful people at the workshop, all inspiring and full of energy.

Tiffany and I arrived 2 days early to get acclimated and explore the historic downtown Guadalajara. We stayed at the amazing Hotel Morales, which is well situated within the historic area. If you’re ever in Guadalajara and need a place to stay, I recommend this hotel hands down.

After exploring the historic area, taking plenty of photographs, we headed back to the airport to meet the workshop attendees and staff. There were plenty of rentals to jump into and get the 1.5 hour ride out to the Hacienda. We hitched our ride with Jose, which I have to say, Knew exactly where he was going… not mentioning any names Gene :)

The workshop was filled with more information than I could process at the time. The Citro Modelos models for the shoots were so professional and knew exactly how to pose.
