Ask for a photography skill. There is a letter mo in this word. It seems that the exposure film looks hazy.

In fact, LOMO itself refers to a camera in Germany in the 1950s, which is strictly a low-grade camera with high quality. Unlike other stupid cameras, LOMO doesn't need batteries, and its appearance is small and hidden. Strong and durable. So it became a mini camera for spies in the former Soviet Union!

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.

LOMO culture

199 1 year, an Austrian student bought such an old-fashioned Soviet realistic camera in Prague. After the student and his friends posted photos of the banquet or daily scenes and objects taken with LOMO on the wall of the kitchen, they started the "LOMOWALL" exchange activity. 1997, the first LOMO world congress was held in Madrid, Spain, and 15000 photos were displayed. The whole exhibition wall is108m long. Become the new favorite of underground art and culture.

LOMO concept

LOMO is not only a creative photography, but also a way of existence. LOMO's creative philosophy is: be quick, don't think too much, open your eyes to see the surrounding environment, absorb more and enjoy communication.

The reason why LOMO excites young people so much is that the image of LOMO is close to real life: it is a recording process. In the LOMO circle, there is no distinction between advanced equipment and low-level equipment, and there is no distinction between high and low technology; Its pleasure lies in freedom. When others are not looking, shoot with the most primitive and unnoticed stupid toy-like machine, never use flash (traditional LO-MO) and never use telescopic lens. LOMO only cares about your feelings! LOMO never lies to you! LOMO is yourself.

Lomo is actually a product of the 1980s. The Soviet Union copied a camera from Japan and never acted as a spy plane. Lomo, whose full name is Leningrad Optics (Leningrad Optical Instrument Factory), is the largest optical instrument manufacturer in Russia today. Today, LOMO has become synonymous with LOMO LC-A, which is a 35 mm auto-exposure paraxial camera developed and produced by this factory in the former Soviet Union. It was originally designed to imitate Leica's Minox and was used to equip spies in the former Soviet Union. Discontinued in the late 1980s. 199 1 Two students from Vienna Academy of Fine Arts in Austria bought LOMO LC-A in an antique shop in Prague, Czech Republic. An exhibition after returning to China made LOMO LC-A famous. The two students pasted photos taken with LOMO LC-A all over the wall-this became the main way for LOMO fans to communicate later. The dark corners and rich colors in LOMO's works have attracted the attention of many young people. 1996, these two students went to St. Petersburg, Russia to find the production factory of LOMO, and persuaded the person in charge of the factory to resume production of Lomo LC-A, which was immediately snapped up by young people all over the world after it resumed production. Thus, the new word "Lomography" was born. In Hong Kong, there is also an exhibition of lomography-8,000 photos taken with LOMO are arranged into a 42-meter-long "Lomo wall" in the subway station, forming a unique landscape. Due to the shortage of supply, the price of a LOMO LC-A on the LOMO website rose from the initial $30 to nearly $200.
