About

Lomography emphasizes casual, snapshot photography. Characteristics such as over saturated colors, off-kilter exposure, blurring, “happy accidents”, and alternative film processing re often considered part of the “lomographic techinique”. Users re encouraged to take a light hearted approach to their photography, and use these techniques to document everyday life.

Similar to Eastman Kodak's concept of the “Kodak moment”, the Lomography motto of “don't think, just shoot” presumes spontaneity, close-ups, and ubiquity, while deemphasizing formal technique.
