Lomography 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 St. Petersburg, Russia. LOMO PLC created and produced the 35 mm LOMO LC-A Compact Automat camera - 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.
In 1991, the Austrian founders of Lomography discovered the Lomo LC-A[citation needed]. 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 - thereby becoming the sole distributor of all Lomo LC-A cameras outside of the Soviet Union. This monopolistic agreement, their viral/tribal marketing strategies and pricing philosophy have generated controversy.[citation needed]
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.'[citation needed] 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, and photo vérité

Hall of shame People who do Lomography (for the most part) are sheep to the excellent marketing company of the brand. They're basically buying a piece of plastic crap with all sorts of BS problems and instead of taking real photos, they're relying on gimmicky colors and abberations to make their photography interesting.

Hall of fame Lomography is more than a different way to photograph, it's a lifestyle
