Photography

“Una fotografía no es solo una imagen como la pintura, una interpretación de lo real; es también una traza, un negativo, como una huella o una máscara.”

–Susan Sontag

  • Claroscuro Gallery

    Claroscuro Gallery

    Life, art, and photography are fleeting. This project was born from —and continues to grow through— a concept of resilience. We see it as something ever-changing: adapting to the market and the goals we want to achieve, while keeping its core identity. Our challenge is to avoid monotony, and we put our heart and dedication into making the gallery grow and evolve.

  • Ikigai Film Lab

    Ikigai Film Lab

    The idea of "ikigai" still guides how we work. Enjoying the process, taking pride in the details, and doing things properly even when no one’s watching. It’s a reminder to focus on the craft, what we’re passionate about, and let the results speak for themselves.

  • Penumbra

    Penumbra

    Analog processes still have much to teach us. Part of our inspiration comes from sharing the photographic legacy inherited from photographer José Hernández Claire, Leonardo's father, and architect Salvador de Alba, Sergio's grandfather, both passionate about photography and who had their own darkroom at home.

  • EME Art Laboratory

    EME Art Laboratory

    We're interested in working with photographers who are passionate about analog photography. We'd love to collaborate with them on reviewing and producing their portfolios, experimenting with tests, sharing processes, and giving them a firsthand look at how an image is created from scratch.

  • Half Lab Box

    Half Lab Box

    Medio Cuadro Lab was born in mid-2020 more out of necessity than a project. Photographers like us didn't have a lab readily available; there wasn't one in Puerto Vallarta, so we forced ourselves to build one ourselves.

  • La Vera Film House

    La Vera Film House

    We are influenced by Japanese spirituality and the dedication they put into crafts and techniques like sashiko, in which, through patience and dedication, they create beautiful and aesthetically pleasing repairs. Thus, we identify each roll as a unique vision that requires patience, care, and respect.

  • Bengala

    Bengala

    We always return to the idea that gave us our start: light as a form of expression. It is our creative beacon and what reminds us that each roll of film and each image is a different way of seeing and sharing the world.

  • Filmamento Shop

    Filmamento Shop

    At first, we planned to be a 100% online store. But we soon realized it wouldn't be as profitable and that the market was smaller than we thought. Plus, many people prefer the experience of seeing products in person before buying. So we decided to open a small store in Guadalajara.

  • Algobien Lab

    Algobien Lab

    I was living in LA in 2019, and at the end of that year I returned to Culiacán, and when I wanted to get film developed, I couldn't find anywhere. I met Natanael, and he taught me how to develop. I would post my photos on social media, and people would ask where I developed them, and I would tell them I did it myself.

  • Pantera Film Lab

    Pantera Film Lab

    We want Pantera to be a space—physical, intellectual, and spiritual—where anyone who comes can feel free to express themselves through art, a space for the exchange of ideas and processes, and where bridges can be built between creative souls.

  • Aboriginal Film Lab

    Aboriginal Film Lab

    At Aborigen, we have a small space that is slowly becoming a studio. In the afternoons, it's completely bathed in sunlight, making it an incredible time to take photos.
