Besides non-mainstream, what else?

LOMO= Rama, Lemo, naked cat ... Le Mo! Although there are many translated versions, in Hongkong and Taiwan Province Province, Lomo fans have given it a proper Chinese name-Le Mo-which makes us touch life happily!

LOMO, a camera with four letters arranged and combined into a brand, is not cutting-edge, but creating surprises; A way of life, not high-end, but unlimited scenery; A shooting attitude of "don't want to shoot" is not arrogant, but arbitrary. It seems that once again, from simple to complex, LOMO is pregnant with fashion tentacles in this city, and a group of active and emotional young people are crazy about it. They said, "LOMO makes our life magical and open."

LOMO is a miniature camera dedicated to Russian spies in the 1950s. It was rediscovered by the Germans nine years ago and then reproduced. However, because only 3000 cameras are produced a year, LOMO fans all over Europe and Japan are always in the forefront.

In today's society, LOMO can be said to be a spirit, a culture and a way of life.

Maybe you don't think this is an artistic act, but an emotional vent in adolescence. However, you are wrong. This is art, and it is a new photography art..

The origin of LOMO

LOMO was originally a low-tech camera used by spies in the former Soviet army. In the former Soviet Union, a factory specializing in the production of military optical lenses, "Leningrad Skoyo Piticco Machinery Dan Coe Objdini" (Lomo) began to develop a small and portable low-tech camera. 199 1 year, two Vienna art students, Wolfgang Stranzinger and Matthias Fiegl, found the old LOMO in a second-hand shop when they were on vacation in the Czech Republic. After they used it, they found that the photo effect was very free and unique, but they did not expect it to become an underground art circle.

The new favorite of the cultural circle, so Lomography was born. 1996, the two men persuaded Putin, then mayor of St. Petersburg and general manager of Leningrad Optical Instruments Union, to continue to produce LOMO cameras, which is not only beneficial to their national economy, but also important to promote art and culture. The LOMO revolution has begun.

Brief introduction of LC-A machine:

LC-A looks like a fool, but there is a 32mm wide-angle peerless mirror built by Dr. Radionor, with obvious dark corners and strange colors. This is the most camera-like model of LOMO, with adjustable aperture and focal length. It's small and light, so you can take it with you at any time. The rise of LC-A restored the glory of LOMO family. The shooting effect of LC-A is strange in color, out of focus and with obvious dark angle.

The current situation of LOMO

At present, LOMO is headquartered in Vienna, and there are LOMO fan clubs all over the world. Photography activities, film exhibitions and parties are happily going on in different corners.

The following two photos were taken with a LOMO camera.

From the mass production of LOMO to the present, LOMO has many characteristics: Frogeye suitable for underwater shooting, multi-lens camera that can image four to nine images at a time, Colorsplash with nine filters and so on. Each one is loved by players, because the unique imaging effect of LOMO camera is not obtained after post-processing, but only after shooting, and image processing software like PHOTOSHOP is useless to it.

The unique lens language has made LOMO extremely attractive. However, the diversity of technology and function is not the most attractive place of LOMO camera. On the contrary, simple operation and irregular shooting techniques are the ultimate secrets of LOMO frenzy sweeping the world.
