a community and movement of photographers who specialize in creative and experimential film photography
The Lomographic International Society was founded in 1992 by a group of students from Vienna. The name of the movement came from a Russian film camera called the LOMO LC-A Compact Automat camera. The Viennese students decided to create the society because they were in love with the "unique, colorful, and sometimes blurry"images that the camera produced. The main characteristics of photos produced by this camera and its analogs have unusual saturation and color, which is achieved using a developing technique called cross processing. Digital editing software can mimic this type of photography, but this is obviously discouraged by the Lomographic community.
