Lomography
Lomography is a movement that promotes (and exploits) the use of Lomo cameras, predominantly the LC-A, and a "shoot from the hip" attitude. Viewed as either a modern impressionistic art movement for photography to create images of every day life or a simple (and effective) marketing ploy, Lomography has attracted a large international following around "The 10 rules"
10 Rules
- Take your LOMO everywhere you go.
- Use it anytime - day or night.
- Lomography is not an interference in your life, but a part of it.
- Shoot from the hip.
- Approach the objects of your lomographic desire as close as possible.
- Don't think.
- Be fast.
- You don't have to know beforehand what you've captured on film.
- You don't have to know afterwards, either.
- Don't worry about the rules.
other meanings
Lomography has become a synonym for the adventure of making pictures with the simple LOMO fun cameras of soviet production and later models.
The Lomography Society International in Vienna has made "lomography" the brand name for new LOMO fun cameras which are manufactured in the name of this society. One camera of that new brand is the fisheye lomography camera.
