Lomography<\/strong> is the commercial trademark of Lomographische AG, Austria for products and services related to photography. The name is inspired by the former state-run optics manufacturer LOMO PLC of Saint Petersburg, Russia. LOMO PLC created and produced the 35 mm LOMO LC-A Compact Automat camera \u2014 which became the centerpiece of Lomography’s marketing and sales activities. This camera was loosely based upon the Cosina CX-1 and introduced in the early 1980s.<\/p>\n

In 1991, the Austrian founders of Lomography discovered the Lomo LC-A. <\/span><\/sup>As the company states, they were “charmed by the unique, colorful, and sometimes blurry” images that the camera produced. After a series of international art exhibitions and aggressive marketing work, Lomography signed an exclusive distribution agreement with LOMO PLC \u2014 thereby becoming the sole distributor of all Lomo LC-A cameras outside of the Soviet Union.<\/sup>

Lomography emphasizes casual, snapshot photography. Characteristics such as over-saturated colors, off-kilter exposure, blurring, “happy accidents,” and alternative film processing are often considered part of the “Lomographic Technique.” Users are encouraged to take a lighthearted approach to their photography, and use these techniques to document everyday life, as the Lomo LC-A’s small size, simple controls, and ability to shoot in low light encourages candid photography, photo reportage<\/span>, and photo v\u00e9rit\u00e9 through the much-touted “10 Rules.”[<\/span>2]<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n
