Lomography

A Lomo camera is, to be frank, a crappy camera. It is produced out of Russia, but loyal followers seem to revel in its low quality. The idea behind the Lomo culture is that all of the camera’s weaknesses are actually cool. Vignetting is seen to add uniqueness to photographs, while inaccurate settings open up your creativity. Lomo cameras do produce some fascinating pictures.

Lomography is really snapshot photography. Accidents are not created on purpose by the photographer, they just occur as a result of the camera’s tendency to oversaturate colors, clutter the image with noise, and over/underexpose shots. Lomo cameras are low fidelity on purpose. One feature of the Lomo camera is its ability to take pictures in low light. This means you can use it anywhere quickly. For this reason, lomography is considered to be the camera for documenting everyday life in its true form. Some Lomo cameras give you the option of multiple lenses and rainbow-colored flashes.


The lomography motto is “don’t think, just shoot.



:::10 rules in the world of lomography:::

1. Take your LOMO everywhere you go.

2. Use it anytime — day or night.

3. Lomography is not an interference in your life, but a part of it.

4. Shoot from the hip.

5. Approach the objects of your lomographic desire as close as possible.

6. Don’t think.

7. Be fast.

8. You don’t have to know beforehand what you’ve captured on film.

9. You don’t have to know afterwards, either.

10. Don’t worry about the rules.
