What does LOMO mean?

The original meaning of "LOMO" refers to a special camera produced in 1950s. The lens is a little curved, so you can shoot day and night without flash, and the photos you take are extremely bright in color. LOMO camera has been neglected for a long time because of its single function. Until 199 1, several students from Vienna went to Prague to buy the "LOMO" camera that had been discontinued at that time. The photos taken surprised them, so LOMO became popular all over the world. Maybe those Lo-Mo people who take photos with LOMO cameras on their backs are not only interested in the photos with strange colors, but also interested in the free and casual avant-garde attitude towards life.

Now Lomo refers to an attitude when shooting, capturing at will and shooting whenever you want. Don't care about aperture and shutter, don't pursue angle and composition. Even if the photos are overexposed or blurred, as long as they can attract people's attention, they are successful works.

Most people who play Lomo are not interested in its imaging principle. The reason is simple: like all cameras, it is a trick of light and black box. Compared with the mature digital photographic equipment, the imaging technology of Lomo camera is too naive, and it may even be unable to focus normally and the exposure is unstable. Photos may even have so-called photographic defects-dark corners. But in the eyes of happy people, this is a unique "tunnel effect".
