Lomo Life: The Future of Analog Photography

To mark the 20th anniversary of the world's hottest camera brand and the artistic movement it has inspired, this two-volume survey is an essential resource for designers and photographers. Lomography, a worldwide photographic phenomenon, is a film-based camera company with over 150 modestly priced models and an expanding global community of enthusiasts devoted to its ingenious range of film cameras and the brand's experimental and inclusive ethos.

The story of Lomography began when two students in Vienna stumbled upon a small Russian camera called the Lomo Kompakt Automat (LC-A). Its trademark vignette shadowing, light leaks, and saturated colors were unlike anything they had seen before. Setting themselves up as distributors, they soon attracted a cult following, and the Lomography community rapidly expanded into a worldwide phenomenon.

Book I of this survey showcases the specially commissioned photography of all the cameras in the vast Lomography range, past and present, including every limited edition. It also presents collaborations with a host of international stars, including Paul Smith, Robert Ryan, Mike Perry, and Jack and Meg White.

Book II, on the other hand, presents the last 20 years of Lomography, detailing the evolution of the concept. Chronologically organized and featuring the best photographic material from the million-plus Lomography community, this volume offers snapshots from every corner of the world.

With 1625 color illustrations, this two-volume set is a comprehensive and visually stunning exploration of the Lomography movement. It serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of film photography and the creative spirit that has driven the Lomography community for two decades.
