Introduce LOMO

LOMO= Rama, Le Mo, Naked Cat ... Le Mo! Although there are many translated versions, in Hongkong and Taiwan Province, Lomo fans have given it an appropriate Chinese name-Le Mo-which makes us touch life happily!

LOMO, four letters arranged and combined into a brand of camera, is not cutting-edge, but creates surprises; A way of life, not high-end, but infinite scenery; A "Don't think, just shot" shooting attitude, not arrogant, but arbitrary. It seems that once again, from simplicity to complexity, LOMO breeds the tentacles of fashion in this city, and a group of active and emotional young people are crazy about it. They said, "LOMO is Let Our life be Magic and Open."

LOMO is a miniature camera specially used by Russian spies in 195s. It was rediscovered by Germans nine years ago and then re-produced. However, since only 3, cameras are produced a year, LOMO fans all over Europe and Japan always lead the way.

In today's society, LOMO can be said to be a kind of spirit, a kind of culture, and even a way of life. The truth of Lomo is actually an extremely imprecise and flawed camera, but it is different with human emotions and play. Shoot whatever you want, shoot continuously, ignore the orthodox photography rules, and only pay attention to personal randomness and authenticity. Maybe you don't think it's an artistic act, but it's just 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 armed forces of the former Soviet Union. In the former Soviet Union, a factory specializing in the production of military optical lenses, "Leningrad Skoje Opitiko Mechanitschkoje Objedinenie" (Lomo), began to develop a small, portable low-tech camera. In 1991, two Viennese art students, Wolfgang Stranzinger and Matthias Fiegl, found an old LOMO in a thrift store when they were on vacation in the Czech Republic. After using it, they found that the photo effect was very free and unique. Unexpectedly, it became the new darling of the underground art circle and the

cultural circle, so Lomography was born. In 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 was not only beneficial to their national economy, but also important to promote art and culture. The LOMO revolution began.

LC-A looks like a fool, but it contains a 32mm wide-angle peerless mirror created by Dr. Radionor, with obvious dark corners and strange colors. This is the LOMO most like a camera, with adjustable aperture and focusing. It's small and light, so you can take it with you whenever you want. The rise of LC-A restored the glory of LOMO family. LC-A shooting effect, strange colors, focus-out condition, with obvious dark corners.

the present situation of LOMO

at present, LOMO is headquartered in Vienna, and there are clubs of lomo lovers all over the world, and photography activities, film exhibitions and parties are happily going on in different corners. The most special feature of LOMO camera itself is its lens. Through the unique Laplacian lens bending angle, it can shoot day and night at the same time, and it can shoot easily without flash or focusing. It's completely on-demand, even if you are a photographer blind.

in addition, LOMO's special lens is particularly sensitive to the three primary colors of red, blue and yellow, and the photos developed with positive film are extremely bright in color. Some special models of LOMO have many other features, such as "tunnel effect", that is, the periphery of the photo will appear much darker than the middle, which is commonly called dark corner effect. The following two photos were taken with a LOMO camera.

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

The unique lens language makes LOMO's supreme charm. 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. Don't worry that others will laugh at your shooting angle and picture layout. Freedom and casualness are the absolute embodiment of LOMO style.
