The D&AD sent me on a mission – to spend a day living by the ten rules of Lomography and report back – here’s what happened…
Life Through The Lens Of A Lomo
The story of Lomography begins in 1991 when a group of Viennese students discover the Russian-made LOMO LC-A in a vintage camera shop in Prague. They spend the rest of their trip experimenting with it. The results are vibrant colours, deep saturation and vignettes that frame each shot. Effects caused by flaws in the camera, like sticky mechanisms and light leaks, fit their experimental aesthetic perfectly.
