Lomography, a technique in analog photography, evokes our inner creativity. Capturing a moment without overthinking to ensure the essence of creativity. This gave rise to the brand Lomography. But how? In 1982, General Igor Kornitzky threw a Japanese compact camera on the desk of his friend Michail, who was then the director of the Lomo Russian Arms and Optical factory. They immediately recognized the potential in the camera and commissioned the LOMO factory to develop it. In 1984, the camera went into mass production and quickly spread through Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Cuba. In 1991, a group of students in Prague discovered the camera and were immediately intrigued, thus leading to the establishment of the Lomography Society (LSI) in 1992. This paved the way for the opening of more galleries and the global distribution of the cameras.
www.ftn-books.com has several books on Lomography available.
