Exposing 30 Years of Lomography History and Heritage!

The story of Lomography began in November 1992, let’s start exposing 30 years of Lomography history and heritage! The fine Lomographic Society International was founded in the grand-old city of Vienna, Austria. There was a dignified “10 Golden Rules of Lomography”, it was published in the Wiener Zeitung – one of the oldest newspapers in the world(!) – and at the first venerable “everyone is an artist” LomoWall a couple of thousand Lomographs were shown.

It all began with the discovery of the quirky little Lomo LC-A camera by some unbrushed happy-go-luck students in Prague that had officially become the global Lomographic movement that we know of today. If you do your maths correctly from 1992, Lomography is now 30 years old and they are proud to be an eccentric, free, wonderful, enthusiastic, creative, experimental, social, wonderful Lomography Community, uniting millions of analogue admirers from around the world who are keen to help us keep film photography alive!

Limited Edition Anniversary Lomo LC-A Cameras 

To kickstart 30 years of Lomography celebrations and this momentous occasion, Lomography is releasing special editions of their beloved Lomo LC-A family cameras – the Lomo LC-A+, Lomo LC-Wide and Lomo LC-A 120. These special editions are all dressed in a unique handcrafted leather design with a colourful metal emblem to commemorate 30 years of breaking the rules.

These metal emblems will also be available as collectible Lomography Pins, Magnets and Stickers. Available in very limited quantities only, our anniversary edition Lomo LC-A cameras and accessories will help Lomographers around the world show off their love for Lomography and get involved with the Lomographic state of mind!

What is signature Lomography aesthetic feel from the LC-A family cameras like?

Since Lomographers stumbled upon the original Lomo LC-A in a quirky, old-school, modest camera shop and started shooting from the hop while touring Prague in 1991, they returned to Vienna and had a sh*tload of film developed in their favourite supermarket and discovered strangely beautiful images.

Over the past 30 years, Lomo LC-A photos are unique and distinct with its own signature Lomography aesthetic style, unmistakable photographs bursting with life, filled with deep saturation, punchy contrast and shadowy vignettes. Today, the Lomo LC-A family cameras are well-loved snap-shooting legends across the world.

With lightning-fast zone focusing, on-point automatic exposure, compact size, robust analogue looks and the all-important legendary lenses, the Lomo LC-A family cameras are a sought-after Lomography classic ready for all sorts of experimentation – a must-have in any photographer’s arsenal.

Photography Business

Business side of things

Q1 2022 started off alright, with signs of a more stable recovery for economy that could flow down to the other levels of the economy. It didn’t seem to sustain with Q2 2022 seems to be a bit of a slow down after coming out full steam in Q1, things didn’t go as expected and planned, making me worried. Q3 2022 was a bounce back into life again. 

There were disappointments, there were lost opportunities, there were new ones too. While there is not a big boom type of growth, there is a good momentum, hopefully this will carry on forward into Q4 2022.

Just like running any business, the levels of stress and pressure are never ending, never low on the scale, sometimes it also come in wave after wave.

Photography consultancy and coaching/training

My years of photography experiences in both professional and personal capacity has finally opened up an avenue that I wasn’t really expecting, the past 2 quarters have been an interesting expansion, slow and steady. The photography consultancy segment also give me ideas on how I might be able to expand this further and wider.

Through my consultancy, it brought me back to coaching/training my friends my photography skills, knowledge and sharing my experiences. A sector that I am planning to expand further, I am back again, having “students” or “disciples”, with me the photography “Shifu”, coined by my former friends who went out with me on various photography outings and walks. 

Although I don’t have an official number, I should have 2-3 “disciples” under my personalised photography care and coaching/training. 

Photo walks 

I used to conduct this regularly, part of my photography coaching/training programme. This went quiet for a period of time, now I am bringing it back again, for my photography coaching/training. I have some expansion plans in mind for this segment, working out the nitty gritty details in Q4 2022.

Photography Zine/Books and Publishing

Since I printed my first photography book in 2015 after my Hokkaido trip in November 2014, I entered into the world of printing and publishing my photography, creative and visual stories into photography zines. 

2nd photography zine update

My 2nd photography zine is now in the 2nd mock up stage, the final phase of editing and amendments. I am setting aside and scheduling my time to get this final hurdle completed and ready for publishing and sale. Thereafter, I would make the official announcement of my 2nd photography zine, pricing and availability. 

What book or zine projects should I embark on?

I have started a number of different photography projects over the years, in different areas and interests over the decade. I am seeking and looking at new photography/documentation/visual story telling projects. 

Some projects on my mind are 

• MF analogue B&W landscape photography
• Produce and publish new photography zines, photography books and photography guide books. 
• From my earlier photography projects in history, heritage and culture, I might choose, work on it and expand them further, and tap on funding if possible.
• Writing and producing my own short films/videos along with my photography projects and visual story telling.

Personal photography

Beyond my photography business, my personal/leisure photography is just as important and crucial for me. This segment is not so much about money, it’s a lot more about personal fulfillments and commitments to personal photography works from documentary to interests. 

Analogue medium format 

Medium format (MF) photography has been an area that I really wanted to explore some years back. Some MF photographers said to me that I won’t understand MF photography even though I have been shooting 35mm or APS-C format for quite a number of years. Personally, I don’t begrudge them since I never tried MF photography before. 

Over the years that I was keen to explore MF, I started off with a Lubitel 166+ TLR although my interest didn’t sustain long enough and it went into my dry box. Yes, it’s a bit embarrassing to confess to this. I was still enquiring on MF cameras, 645, 6×6 or 6×7, which camera brands to look at, does it make sense to get an analogue MF camera body and lens, pair it with a MF digital back instead of a film back. The answer to this, was not recommended, as shared by some of my photography mentors.

Most recently, I was very blessed to inherit some analogue MF cameras from a fellow photographer friend’s uncle, who used to be a commercial photographer in the analogue film days. Now, I finally have a chance to embark on my MF photography journey. 

As this is still a work in progress, checking and sending for repairs if necessary, it’s going to take a bit of time. Once this is settled down, I would share more updates in another article.

Travel 

When should I travel again?

The travel restrictions are gradually lifted around the world, more countries are reopening up their borders for business and leisure travel over the past 2 quarters . Many people could be seen traveling out of Singapore, on one hand I am envious, on the other hand, the airfares are not exactly cheap, the travel, tourism, aviation and hospitality industries are playing catch up to meet the demands and pent up frustrations. 

Travel Photography Bucket List

On my travel photography bucket list, countries in APAC region would be my priority since they are much nearer to Singapore:

Japan

A lengthy list of prefectures to visit in Japan, with a return to Hokkaido on my plans, continuing on with my 4 seasons of Hokkaido travel photography project. Another key region in Japan that I would like to visit is the Kansai region. 

Malaysia

More than just a neighbour to Singapore, I have relatives in Malaysia, I hope to plan some time and visit them again after 2+ years of global pandemic lockdown. I am also keen to revisit Sabah again for wildlife photography and trekking.

Vietnam/Taiwan/Indonesia/Thailand 

They are a short flight away from Singapore, making them pretty accessible for short getaways. 

Europe and beyond

I have been chatting and discussing on TTOT community chat that I am planning to visit Europe. They are in my travel plans, probably in the next phase after visiting ASEAN and APAC regions first.

Guiding/Leading travel photography trips

In conjunction with my photography consultancy, photography training/coaching and photo walks, would all these lead me to guiding/leading travel photography trips overseas? I shall leave it here as it is for now, if and when the time is ripe, there might be some news.

Goals Setting for Q4 2022 

First and foremost, I have set myself a number of goals setting for Q4 2022. I recalled that there were a few years whereby I didn’t want to reveal them. For this Q4 2022, I am aligning myself to change my approaches and way of doing things, not the old school way though of writing specific and detailed goals, objectives and plans for Q4 2022.

Goals for Q4 2022

• Officially launch and publish my 2nd photography zine
• Make a breakthrough in my travel photography/writing/related segments
• Kickstart my analogue MF photography journey 
• Rebrand and realign my commercial photography services 

Last but not least

This Q3 2022 reflection and plans for Q4 2022 somehow feels pretty lengthy with quite a lot of personal thoughts, feelings, and emotions in the areas of my photography and travel.  

Last but not least, thank you for taking the time to read it till the end of my personal ranting (in some ways).

The post NEW Lomography Acapulco Beach Edition Cameras appeared first on TGH Photography and Travel Portal/Blog.

Polaroid is celebrating more ways this year, for you to be creative on-the-go by releasing the pocket-sized camera in two bold colours, Black and Red. The new cameras come along with new creator-centric additions, a filter set for blue, red or orange-tined photos, and matte-black frame instant film for drama that kicks creativity and expression.

“The Polaroid Go has portability and the spirit of exploration in its DNA. We’ve seen an incredible response for this new camera format so we wanted to introduce even more ways for people to dive deeper into their creativity, while making it easy for them to go anywhere and capture whenever inspiration hits,” Oskar Smolokowski, Polaroid CEO, said.

How tiny and compact is this Polaroid Go? Measuring at only 4.1” long, 3.3” wide, and 2.4” tall, the Polaroid Go is the smallest analogue instant camera in the world. You can bring them along easily in your bag for your daily walks or travels! The Polaroid Go is designed as wearable creative companion, allowing creators to be empowered to head out, explore not just your local neighbourhood, towns and cities, beyond your home ground, to secret, unheard, new, and unexpected places in the world, and unleash the creative explorer in you!

Celebrating the launch of Polaroid Go Black and Red, Polaroid is kicking off the campaign with creativity and exploration at its heart, mind, soul and eyes. This would be an evolution from last year’s Go Create campaign, year 2022’s iteration is going to bring together creators across different artistic disciplines and cultures. Ibby Njoya, an artist and set designer, and Miranda Makaroff, a fashion designer, DJ, blogger and actress, traveled to Tenerife, Spain to show off their creative visions on the rugged island.

“For me, Polaroid has always been a tool of documentation and experimentation. As an artist, it’s allowed me to process the development of my skills as a set designer. Getting to experiment with the Polaroid Go’s portability during our shoot in the Canary Islands was so fun, I love how easy it is to bring it everywhere,” Njoya said.

“I love the new possibilities that the Polaroid Go creates. It makes it so easy to capture inspiration wherever I travel, which plays a big part into my creative process as an artist,” Makaroff said.

The new Polaroid Go Black and Red join the original Polaroid Go White camera, giving more opportunities for self expression wherever the next adventures leads and brings you. The Polaroid Go is built on its creative-minded features like the selfie mirror, self-timer, long-lasting battery, dynamic flash, double exposure, and travel-friendly accessories with the introduction of the camera first-ever lens filters and the smallest black frame instant film.
