After many years studying and being given briefs with strict guide lines I have been going through a rebelion. The lomo cameras have caught my undevided attention.
Although the cameras don't allow for large reproduction quality, the sheer fun and experimentation is great. Who doesn't want a chrome fisheye for under $400!!!
After flicking through lots of the images that are saturating the net, they are definitely set to become a cult icon. They have these tiny little bodies and a comically oversized flash house, making them appear as though they should be in a magna cartoon. The product range is immense and they even manufacture there own redscale negative film, who wouldn't fall in love?
There are various designs, some with multiple lenses and colour filters, making your world of options burst out and turn into somewhere between Warhol and a hint of Diana Arbus (if your so inclined) and an urbanesque quality which is unmistakable and well executed.
Try them they are fantastic fun! x
