Lomography is an adaptation of the word photography that was originally inspired by users of the Lomo LC-A. The first Lomo was a simple fixed lens 35mm Russian produced camera that was discontinued in 2005 due to the waning popularity of film photography. Shooting with a Lomo was a challenging experience that embraced flaw-inducing techniques while demanding acceptance from its loyalists.

Here is how I learned how concert photographs do not always require the best lenses or even the best zooms. This is the story of how I became the analogue concert photographer for La Fonoteca Barcelona. Lafonoteca (which means the music library) is a website by and for music lovers, and Spanish music in particular. Its intention is to do an exercise in historical memory, to rescue musical

Let's call this an overview to the basics of star trail photography for beginners from the pros. These are a short collection of techniques I've read and learned from books and tutorials that I want to share with you. I never thought I’d be writing a tipster on anything as I am, for the most part, a “Don’t think. Just shoot.” Lomographer – not as a rule I follow by, mind you; it’s more of a

It was in the early 1990s when two students in Vienna, Austria, discovered a small enigmatic Russian camera, the Lomo Kompakt Automat, and started a new style of artistic experimental photography of unorthodox snapshots. In the blink of an eye the Lomographic message spread around the planet and people from North to South were screaming for Lomo LC-A’s. So they hopped on a plane, flew to St.

For a while now I have been wanting to write about the importance of Lomography, not just in terms of keeping analogue alive, but the importance of the community and the actual effect of Lomography on the individual. Until recently I did not really know how to begin but now I do. Recently I have been diagnosed with a condition called Generalised Anxiety Disorder or GAD (I rather wish it was

Lomographic products are all characterized by the following traits: they are practical and sensual, they look good, they’re friendly, inexpensive, sexy, un-political, a tad intellectual (but not too high-brow) and distributed worldwide. Their sole purpose is to do nothing other than serve the daily, thousandfold desires of Lomographic creative expression! Our product collection began with the

Most modern cameras do everything as perfectly as possible. They automate focus, aperture, shutter, film speed, white balance and everything else you would care to think of. They recognise faces and switch to portrait mode – even taking the picture when your subject smiles. Lomo cameras don’t. They leak light, over and under saturate your images, over-expose your images and sometimes stop taking
