Lomography is a type of photography which came about through experimentation with a Russian camera, Lomo LC-A, which produce sensational images which feature bright colour, deep saturation and vignettes which frame the shot beautifully, hence the term Lomography.
The 10 essential rules of Lomography!
- Take your camera everywhere you go
- Use it any time – day and night
- Lomography is not an interference in your life, but part of it
- Try the shot from the hip
- Approach the objects of your Lomographic desire as close as possible
- Don't think (William Firebrace)
- Be fast
- You don't have to know beforehand what you captured on film
- Afterwards either
- Don't worry about any rules
www.lomography.com is the place to go to buy your own lomo LC-A camera as well as specialised film, and connect with other photographers from all over the world and share your photos. Some of the picture above are images taken with a lomo LC-A camera but using the double exposure techniques to create elements of depth in various shades overlapping each other.
One camera that I have on my wish list is featured on
www.modcloth.com the Diana F+ which also takes photos in the style of a Lomo LC-A camera. This one is $109.00 for a limited edition corked casing.
