Anyone in Venezuela?

[tonal1]

Hello,

I am in Mérida, Venezuela and am hoping that someone here can offer me some advice. I need to find either a lab that can develop B&W film and make 4x6 prints, a university darkroom I can access, or an individual with a darkroom...

I am volunteering at a small school and teaching a photography course. I want to give the students a point and shoot camera and film to make photographs in the barrios. I would then get the film developed. Then, the students could edit the prints and make a presentation.

Also, I am hoping to access a copy of any of Sebastião Salgado's books in order to introduce his work to the students. If you know of a link to a substantial collection of his images, that would be appreciated as well (preferably Workers, Migrations, or Africa).

Thanks for any help....

Hello there 🙂

Can't help with the lab but Sebastiao has quite a few images on his website, should be enough for a class I think. If you need book buy from Amazon? Or to buy for a class/school I suggest calling Phaidon/Taschen/Aperture those guy has published his works.

Go to the Universidad de los Andes, Escuela Nacional de Medios Audiovisuales. I am sure that they can grant you access to their darkroom if you find them in a good mood.

Good luck!

Edited to add: for a commercial lab, you could try here: http://www.fotoartema.com/sucursales.php
