Lomography

What is Lomography about?

It is playing with photography.

Film is now pretty obsolete because of digital, but it retains unique properties and it is a different creative process. LOMO brings to life this difference. Each camera is original and takes original pictures. These plastic cameras are the opposite of high-fidelity. 

Lomography is the opportunity to let the chance to do its job. It is also a form of resistance to digital. An opportunity to use a 35mm film and then waiting for the results as well as the rediscovery of the images after processing by a laboratory. 

Lomography is practiced by thousands of users around the world and "lomographers" exchange their pictures on this website : http://www.lomography.com/ 

Lomography is a registered trademark of Lomographische AG., Austria. It sells products and services in the photography field. It has initiated an entirely new photographic movement called lomography (word created from the Lomo LC-A, a camera not created by it but which has acquired exclusives sales.)
The compagny has also established a website named Lomorgaphic Society International, selling the cameras and accessories that the compagny distributes, and also allows the users to show their pictures. This website includes some 500,000 followers, the "lomographers". At the national level, they organized themselves into what they call their embassies. 

There are different Lomography cameras such as the Lomo LC-A (Lomo Compact Automat), a compact camera with a fix lens 32mm. Not precise and quality pretty bad      the users claim the use of these defects. 

Other effects pointing up by the Lomographic Society (color saturation or high contrast) have nothing to do with the camera and are obtained by different methods (such as cross-processing) which are usable with any analog camera.
