Mexico Analog Film Photography Educational Discount Program

It has been my goal since I started selling analog film photography products in Mexico to make them affordable across Mexico. I also want the widest selection of products to be available in Mexico.

Mexico should be recognized for the vibrantly creative youth generation that is its treasure. It should not be an after-thought when products are released globally. Towards that end, I have been blessed to have introduced all newly released products at the same time as they have been released in the United States.

Not all products are eligible for a discounted price. In my perception, some products are the basic essentials that merit an educational discount while others are luxury products.

Visit the catalog to learn about what products are available at educational prices. No additional discounts will be applicable. The pricing displayed for "Education" already include the maximum possible discount.

WHAT DO I CONSIDER AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION

  1. Universities that are not-for-profit.

  2. Community darkroom that offer free or minimal-cost usage of their facilities and/or offer workshops for a reasonable price that is in proportion to the cost of the materials used.

  3. Individuals offering workshops for a reasonable price that is in proportion to the cost of the materials used.

HOW TO QUALIFY FOR EDUCATIONAL PRICING OR DISCOUNTS

  1. Universities must send an email from their official address and, provide a link to their photography program's website.

  2. The community darkroom must be listed online-either through a website, Instagram profile, etc., as a space that offers reduced-cost access to the analog photography community. Those offering free access will have higher priority for allocation. If the link to your online profile is not set to public, that is an automatic disqualifier for educational pricing.

  3. Individuals offering analog photography workshops may also eligible, and requests for a discount will be considered on a case-by-case basis.  If the link to your online profile is not set to public, that is an automatic disqualifier for educational pricing.
Due to the anticipated volume of applications received, it is incumbent upon you to provide all relevant information that will be helpful in deciding in your favor.

PURCHASING PROCESS

  1. Films - for 35mm films, a minimum purchase of 20 rolls of each film is required. For 120 films, a minimum of 1 x 5-packs or 10 rolls (when sold in single quantities).
