EXPERIMENTAL AND CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY IS WHAT WE STAND FOR

Today, Lomography is more committed than ever to the support of experimental and creative photography. We have more than two decades worth of matchless analogue adventures, stunning innovations and wonderful pictures. Here are just a few of the recent Lomographic innovations.

• An Instant Love - In 2014, with the support of more than 8000 backers on Kickstarter and over $1 million in funding, the newest Lomographic camera saw the light of day: the Lomo’Instant. Since the very first day, this precious little thing has conquered the hearts of our community and the rest of the world alike.
• Turquoise Gold - After the great success of LomoChrome Purple, Lomography released LomoChrome Turquoise in 2014. This Color Negative XR 100-400 film brings a burst of colour in 35mm and 120mm formats.
• Finest Wide Angles – Featuring fantastic Russian optics, the New Russar+ joined our line-up of Art Lenses in 2014. Lomography reinvented the legendary Russar MR-2 for contemporary analogue and digital mirrorless rangefinder cameras, creating a new lens to shoot sharp and vibrant photos, bursting with unique character.
• The place to be – In 2015 so far, we have launched our brand new Lomography Community Site connecting more than 1 million Lomographers around the globe. Featuring a dazzling new design, over 14 million photos document the analogue lifestyle in every corner of the world.
