Lomo

Page 1

This is dedicated to the analogue gods of old who upon seeing our kingdom blessed us with one small token of their awesomeness, the lomo. But also I dedicate it to the mortals who introduced me to this invention and the talented individuals who’s work features inside.

Colours

The biggest factor in peoples use of lomography cameras is the over saturated colours they produce. No other types of photography gives o the light-hearted feel that lomos do and when mixed in with multiple exposure shots the photographer can convey conicting things with one picture. We salute you here.

Black and White

Black and white is a photographer’s favourite guilty pleasure. Analogue cameras (especially lomos) tend to be dim and blurry when in black and white, this means the photo should be simple and strong sometimes being boring but multiple shots can make even the most bland things creative and lingering.

Fun

Honestly the main reason why people by lomos other than for that special artistic touch is to mess around. The pinnacle of snapshot photography well matched with the fun of multiple exposures.

Ghosts

Long before Photoshop hoaxes were done with blurry double exposed shots nowadays that eect looks cheap by comparison but there’s something about the colour tones achieved with a lomo that can give photos a wonderfully haunting look.
