Photography: What is LOMO?

Every weekend, I introduce some photography/software/speech skills on faded ink. The word "LOMO" was translated into "Le Mo" and "Naked Cat" in Taiwan Province Province. Personally, I think "musical sense of touch" can better express the present meaning. In fact, "LOMO" itself refers to a camera of the former Soviet Union in the 1950s. The most special thing is its lens, which allows it to shoot day and night without flashing through a unique bending angle, and is particularly sensitive to red, blue and yellow, with extremely bright colors. Now "LOMO" refers to an attitude when shooting, a casual shooting method and a spirit of resisting traditional photography techniques. The characteristics of LOMO photography are: freedom, shooting whenever you want, regardless of aperture, shutter, angle and composition. Even if the photos taken in this way are overexposed or blurred, as long as unexpected results can be achieved, it is a successful LOMO. This kind of LOMO photography is similar to the Nine Swords in martial arts novels, and its essence is "winning without tricks". Perhaps the photos you take occasionally will bring you a shocking effect, which may never be obtained by traditional techniques. The Rise of LOMO Photography 1993, several students from Vienna went to Prague and bought Lc-a cameras that were discontinued at that time on a whim. They were very surprised at the effect of this camera: bright, happy and hazy, which made photography so enjoyable. They recommend it to young artists around them, which is in short supply. Later, they got in touch with the Russian factory and became the international agent of LOMO. After their vigorous publicity, LOMO photography began to be widely known and gradually attracted more and more people to join the ranks. Now, LOMO is called "LOMO Society" in major cities around the world, and its headquarters is in Vienna. Although it has global parties and formal organizations, it is not serious at all. The spirit of LOMO Society is to turn the camera into a portable life observation device and use an informal recording method to let LOMO people travel around the world without loneliness. The ten principles of LOMO photography should be carried with you and used at any time-day or night. LOMO is a part of life. Shoot from the ass. Get as close as possible to the object you expect. Don't think about it. Come on. You don't need to know in advance what you will get in the photo. You don't have to imagine what you will shoot later. Combine your photos at will. Ignore these rules.
