Faking lomography
January 31, 2004
Digital photography at its purest is one thing; making use of the digital darkroom to manipulate and produce derivative art is another. I have no knowledge of the politics between the purists and manipulators. I know, however, that if I can do something with my digital photos, and they look good, why wouldn’t I?
I spent the better part of the day looking through lomographs. Photos taken on a lomo have a distinct quality to them. Slightly out of focus, with a haze in some, and most often the picture is oversaturated. The following photos are my own little attempt to duplicate the quality of a lomograph with my stock photos:
I have included the photos in their original form.
