Lomography: Lomography Photography Equipment: Cameras: Lomography: Lomography Photography Equipment: Lomography started when Igor Kornitzky, right-hand man to the USSR Minister of Defense and Industry, introduced his comrade, Michail Panfilowitsch to a little Japanese mini-camera. Michail, being the Director of the powerful LOMO Russian Arms and Optical Factory, instantly recognized the potential of the camera s superior nature and gave immediate orders to copy and improve the camera s design. The LOMO LC-A was born and took Russia by storm. Today, the Lomography brand group corporate mission statement is based on the 10 Golden Rules of Lomography. This set of rules encompasses the mission of lomographers everywhere to take as many impossible photos as possible. Looking to not just create another camera, the Lomography brand actively encourages lomographers to submit and share their pictures with the world. In fact, Lomography even publishes multiple photo booklets and includes them with many of their cameras. Cameras such as the Holga and LC A+ have become iconic symbols of lomographers everywhere. Lomographers take great pride in the fact that they don t need all the bells and whistles of digital cameras to take good pictures. They just need their wits and a Lomographic camera and they re ready to take stunning shots. Unique cameras such as the Pop 9 and Oktomat offer options that other camera companies only dream of like 8 or 9 lenses. A lomographer is a true photographer.
