Nice Collection Vailancio…..The whole idea of low-tech, analog photography is really appealing. inspiring me somehow!!

Just a little correction though… when someone clicks on your twitter page link it leads to the page which doesn’t exist!.

Strangely compelling pictures. I love eyetwist

Nice collection i never heard of lomo my self i like it!

Love these – thanks!!

One thing I remember from my art school days is how making mistakes or creating something unexpected can result in the best effect and final piece. This is an idea that I have rended to leave behind in my work as a webdesigner where everything is precise and thought through, I do though play around with the intensity of the contrast or brightness on the photographs I use. The photoshop tutorials look interesting, maybe I’ll get a chance to use them in the future.

eye.catchy,sometimes disturbing,yet creative shots.

Nice article, interesting part about Lomography, Thanks.

I’m a fan of this photographer who only uses a lomo camera. He’s a got a crazy website with literally THOUSANDS of lomography pictures. If you liked all these you should check his stuff out here ::

Here’s what his website said (this is the RIGHT kind of lomography, right?) –
“On Michael Elliot ::

Michael Elliot is a photographer from Las Vegas, Nevada. Currently operating out of the heavenly Southern California where he has found an unending supply of new locations, people, and events to capture through his lens. His goal is to capture the obvious yet unseen – those moments where life is so in our face yet we fail to see the apparent dream-like nature of it all. To achieve this goal, all of Michael’s work is captured using a Lomo Kompakt Automat : a strange Russian film camera with communist-era origins. Michael uses 35mm film and prefers Kodak Professional Ultra Color 100 when working. “

Great post! I can make through the rest of my work day now.
Thanks SM…cheeers!

LOMO Smiena Symbol was my first camera. :)

Are you able to offer any of these images for publication on commercial sites? I can offer attribution and a back-link in exchange. I ask because I freelance graphics, web page design, web development, website hosting, plus the option of remote content management integrations for the client.

Thanks,

I’m a fan of non-photoshopped, low res photography. After all the lame HDR stuff recently this is very refreshing to see.

Try cheap digital key ring cameras as well – it doesn’t have to be film, there’s loads of stuff on flickr featuring cameras like the VQ1005 http://www.flickr.com/groups/vq1005/pool/

Great pictures. Hopefully I can hold on to this motivation to go out and use my Holga camera.

Thank you very much for having one of my pictures here, I love SM, this is such an honour <3

The Kinod photographers really use these techniques well, they’re truly inspirational http://www.kinod.net/

Nice one SM. I’ve been after a Diana Lomo camera for a while now, you’ve just made me want one even more.

Guess I can survive on Pot Noodles for a couple of weeks next month…

Beautiful! Thanks for putting these together. I would be thrilled if you could check out my photography project and give me your feedback. I’ve been told that the images convey the same look and feel as those above.

Though very nice pictures, most of them seem very carefully framed, and also heavily edited afterwards, so i don’t really think that the term lomo applies to all these pictures.
I like ‘em though :)
