Lomography is a movement/community consisting of people from all over the world. It all started with a bunch of Austrian students who came across the Lomo LC-A camera... Nowadays they supervise the manufacture of several lo-fi and odd-ball cameras and also resell other russian deadstock cameras and different films along with lots of other cool stuff at http://shop.lomography.com/shop/ Browsing through the whole site and discovering all the nitty-gritty of lomography is an almost impossible mission, but I assure you that there are plenty of tips & tricks, tutorials and history to be found as well as millions of photos by lomographers worldwide. The films can be processed at regular labs, but one thing that is common among lomographers is to shoot on regular slide film (positive) and then have the rolls processed as negative film in C-41 chemicals, which gives the colours an extra boost and creates a lovely saturation (VERY different results depending of film brand and you also get different results from different labs!). The whole movement is too vast to be explained in a simple forum post here, but the 10 rules is a good start to understand the purpose. The essence of lomography is in those "rules" and I guess you can capture it with pretty much any camera, but the cameras promoted by lomography.com is a good way to start since they have been tested all over the world and the resources are vast. The most popular "lomographic" cameras are: LC-A (original version, not manufactured anymore) LC-A+ (new version manufactured in china but with the authentic Russian Mintar lens) HOLGA 120 CFN (and other Holgas) Fisheye Camera as well as various plastic fun-cameras like the ActionSampler, SuperSampler, Colorsplash, Oktomat, Frogeye and Pop 9... Hope this presentation was helpful and that it wets your appetite... /A. |

it almost seems like they keep it kinda secret and mysterious, even on lomography.com. Like they never tell you straight out what it is, just let you make your own interpretations. Maybe thats the kind of people that do it and they want to start doing it. Very interesting in that respect I think. |
