Lomography

Lomography is a technique in analog photography that brings out the creativity in us. Shooting without thinking too much to preserve that creativity. That's how the Lomography brand came about. But how exactly? In 1982, General Igor Kornitzky tossed a Japanese compact camera onto the desk of his friend Michail, then director of the Lomo Russian Arms and Optical factory. They immediately saw potential in the camera and instructed the LOMO factory to develop it. In 1984 the camera went into mass production and quickly spread through Poland, Czechoslovakia and Cuba. In 1991, a group of students in Prague discovered the camera and became instantly enthusiastic, after which the Lomography Society (LSI) was founded in 1992. More and more galleries opened and the cameras spread worldwide.       

The possibilities with Lomography cameras are almost endless. Whether you have an analog, instant or disposable camera from them, you can go in all sorts of directions. Out of inspiration?
