Lomography is a photography movement that emphasizes creative and experimental approaches to taking pictures. It originated in the early 1990s when a group of enthusiasts discovered the Lomo LC-A, a compact Russian camera known for its unique, vibrant images and unpredictable results. The movement encourages spontaneity, using film cameras to capture moments without the constraints of traditional photography. Lomography promotes the idea of "Don't Think, Just Shoot," encouraging photographers to embrace imperfections and explore different styles. The community celebrates various techniques, such as double exposures and light leaks, fostering a playful attitude towards capturing life through the lens.
