Detailed Description

Lomography is a style of photography that is characterized by its use of a specialized camera, called a Lomo camera. Lomography cameras are often inexpensive, plastic cameras with simple lenses. This type of camera is often used by amateur photographers who are interested in experimenting with different techniques. Lomography first became popular in the early 1990s, when a group of Austrian students started using Lomo cameras to document their everyday lives. This group of photographers came to be known as the Lomographic Society International (LSI). Since then, Lomography has become a global phenomenon, with Lomographers in every corner of the world. There are now Lomography galleries, Lomography shops, and even Lomography festivals. Some of the most famous Lomographers include Diana F+ camera creator, Lomography ambassador and photographer, Luka Lajoie, and Lomography co-founder and photographer, Matthias Fiegl. Famous Lomography photographs include “The Last Supper” by Luka Lajoie, “Starry Night” by Matthias Fiegl, and “Dirty Harry” by Diana F+.
