Lashings of Lomo Style

What fascination has developed into the Lomo making it a crazy trend as a creative approach to communicating, absorbing and capturing the world?

"Don't think, just shoot" said from the official Lomo motto.

Yah, no doubt about it, that's the spirit of Lomo, it's Lomography. There are a large number of adherents at every corners of the world since Lomo was created. For some people, perhaps the word Lomo is completely new to you, however, as you know the profound understanding of Lomography, I'm sure you will start this new style of artistic experimental photography of unorthodox snapshots. You would never imagine, a camera could produce images as fascinating, innovative snaps of life being lived, rather than documented.

Specially, as you discover Lomo was a camera which originates from 80's Germany, you would find out the most special characteristic is its lens. Through a unique angle, it makes all different results on photographs, which are "Lomo Effects ".For example, the color of red, blue and yellow is particularly acute and unusually bright. It is absolutely a cool style of photography if you keep following this astrictive technique, you can create better looking shots than your digital camera.

Although Lomo comes from a traditional camera world, it seems more fashionable and free when it is compared with common digital cameras. There is no need to care about diaphragm, camera shutter etc. Just hold the Lomo camera and relax yourself to take whatever you want. You also don't need to care about the angel and posture, because what you shoot is your everyday life with what you see from your eyes even something that you can't see. Therefore, Lomo is an unexpected special style, which makes your life into the dreamy lenses as a surprise, vivid, happy and hazy.

Once again, today's Lomo has become a spirit, a life style and an attitude. "It is not just about a plastic camera. It's about the style-carrying hipster camera. It's about the look of it all. And it's about spontaneity".
