The history of lomography began in 1984, when the camera <<LOMO compact machine>> became available to everyone. However, it became popular only in the 90s. And in 1991 in Vienna, Austrian students founded the Lomographic Society and gave the new kind of art an alternative name - "Life as it is."

Lomography - is a special genre of photography, in which the main thing is to capture life as it is. There are no rules here, only the vision of the photographer is important. Many certainly do not understand this kind of art and do not consider it a photograph at all. But still this has its charm, because lomographers look for beauty in everything that surrounds them, choose interesting perspectives, and are not afraid to experiment.

In lomography, you can do everything: take blurry pictures, take a picture of the frame, use color filters. So if you decided to take pictures in the genre LoMo, you should remember a few simple rules:

Always take a camera with you wherever you are! In bed, for a walk, to a store, to visit friends ... Once you feel that you need to take photos, immediately get the camera!

Use the camera at any time of day or night! Every second of your life is probably filled with something interesting. Look around. People, birds, houses, trees - all this can become an object for photography. Learn to catch moments, emotions and impressions!

Lomography is not an intrusion into your life - it's part of it. Photogravure is like a way of life, it's like eating and sleeping.

Remove from the hip! Look for interesting perspectives. Twist the camera, carry it behind your back, lift it up, take pictures from around the corner. Your lomo is always a mystery.

Approach as close to the selected lomographic objects! Approach and click, look straight in the eyes. Such pictures always turn out to be sincere and original.

Act quickly! You do not need to build a frame and look for a better position. What you saw a second ago can disappear in an instant. Do not waste time - take pictures.

It is not necessary to know in advance what will happen as a result. Lomography is a random choice. Just enjoy the process. It does not matter what kind of pictures you get!

And now forget all that you read, take a camera, load a film and shoot! To become a photographer, it is not necessary to have a cool camera, ten objects and your own studio. Become simpler, look more widely - and all will necessarily turn out. You too can take pictures! Take the old camera, film and click frames without rules. The result may be unexpectedly cool.
