Behind each innovation we enjoy today are layers of history that paved the way for Lomography and other artistic movements. We look back at the long-standing narratives of painting and photography to show how they evolved and eventually came together.

Next, I have to determine the focal length of the lens. This could be easily done using a light source, such as a ceiling spotlight. Hold the lens on a table surface and move up and down until the light focused the sharpest on the table. The distance between the sharp focus (table surface) and the lens’ current position would be the focal length (just 2cm in my case); so, ideally the distance between the lens and the surface should be around this distance. To make it easier, it is better to have 2 parts for the camera so one end can slide in and out to focus.

What would the world look like through someone else’s eyes? This is a question film swaps can help us to answer. By sharing a film roll with a Lomographer from a different part of the world, we get glimpses of another culture, appreciate our own, and see how it all comes together beautifully.

The back part has to be a little smaller so it can be slotted into the front part. At one end of the back part, I used a translucent card but actually, anything similar that would let diffused light through will work. A simple alternative is tracing paper or maybe a piece of paper. Leave the other end open as well. (Ignore the gap, I didn’t have enough black card left.)

The camera obscura is a very simple device that uses a lens to project an image on a screen. In Latin, the term “camera obscura” means “darkened chamber”, and it is indeed a small dark box with just a lens on one end and a translucent surface on the other. It was one of the inventions that led to photography.

It’s simple, Chromatic is a pure color that contains no hints of white, black, or gray, and Achromatic colors have low saturation, blended with white, black, or grays.

I decided to make one as part of my experimentation in my university project. First of all, I needed to find a convex lens – the type that curved outwards rather than inwards (which is concave). I loaned mine at the workshop, but as an alternative, any magnifying glass will do.

An example of a piece of art that uses Achromatic colors would be “The Starry Night” by Vincent Van Gogh. The painting consists of mostly blues, greens, and purples, but there are also some blacks and whites blended in. The overall effect is a very calming and serene painting.

Jacob Rubeck of Surf Curse is no stranger to analogue photography, with one of his first film cameras being a Lomography Fisheye, and he still embraces his Lomographic side. Today he shares shots from his last tour and tells us about his current project, Casino Hearts.

Summertime is upon us and it's about time that we all get back into nature! For this reason we partnered up with Ball Photo Supply of Asheville, North Carolina to bring our community of film photographers out on the trails together.

From having the simple purpose of connecting people, to becoming the subject of numerous studies – it was a pleasant surprise to discover how Lomography is deemed an important contributor to the enrichment of photography. Here is a list of academic papers that explore the Lomographic way of life!

Film-enthusiast Dana T. has enamored us with her 110 photography for quite some time now, so it is no surprise that she also impressed us with her results from the Lomomatic 110. Today she has returned to the magazine to share some thoughts on this brand new pocket camera!

Now, point the camera at anything and slide the two parts in and out to see the image forming on the surface! The image will appear inverted (upside down) because of physics, that’s a whole different story to tell!

So cool! You're only one step away from your own real camera. I have instant visions of two of those things on top of each other, for synchronised focussing, one to peek trough, and one loaded with film and with a shutter. You'd have a twin lens camera. I'd love to see the mirror version as well.

For the front part of the camera with the lens, I just cut a hole slightly smaller than the lens. If the lens was mine I would have mounted it using glue, but since I will have to return it, I made a simple lens holder to slot it on the lens. Leave the other end of the box open for the back part.

An example of a well-known piece of art that uses Chromatic colors would be the “Mona Lisa” by Leonardo Davinci. The painting consists of many different shades and hues of green, yellow, and blue. The lack of black, white, or gray makes the colors stand out more and appear very pure.

Instant photography offers much more than it's convenient point-and-shoot reputation...well, at least our Lomo'Instant cameras do! We recently held a workshop introducing the versatility of instant photography and its experimental possibilities to the Filipino film community.

In this article, we're looking at how DIY cameras offer a deeply rewarding experience, not just by allowing us to express ourselves but also strengthening our knowledge and enjoyment of analogue photography!
