In the early 1990s, a group of Viennese students took a trip to Prague, and started a new style of artistic experimental photography, using a small Russian camera called LOMO KOMPKT AUTOMAT. They experiment on taking as many photographs as possible, in the most impossible situations possible, from the most unusual positions possible. The result was COLOURFUL, CRAZY, and UNFAMILIAR.
The idea of lomography is to experiment, go crazy, as strange angles, blurry images, shadow round the edges, raw and unexpected details are believed, by the lomographers, to be “the beating pulse of the experience”, captured in the snapshots.
