Digital Lomo and Holga

[RedSpectrumPictures]

People commenting saying about you have over edited need to calm down I think, you have your own style and I like that

[avallonmist]

Although I like your work, I just think Digital-Lomography is an oxymoron; fauxmography is probably a better way to describe what you have posted. I don't mean this as an insult either; like I said, I like this work...it just belongs [IMHO] in a different category.

)O(.

[EdgeDigitalMedia]

Great job! It's not about the tools, it's about the result. I just picked up a Holga and am waiting for my first 2 rolls to come back from the lab. Stoked!

[Wankeysweater]

Seriously whats with all of the hating? Nice job man.

[U23Drocs]

bet 5 dollars if the poster didn't say these were digitally edited to look like lomographic pictures they wouldn't be able to tell the difference. your a talented editor and don't let these pricks tell you otherwise

[collectionforsale]

awesome work man! A true modern visionary photographer at work! Art comes in all shapes and sizes and this is just another great way of making nice pictures.

[Harpo6]

looks digital, not good!

[jeesh123]

Photoshop gives you the power no the camera fare enough lomo has a cool effect but you might not get the effect you wanted or planned for showing you have no control on how your photos look.

[KyleCorreiaDeAraujo]

Hey... damn guys... you all so judgmental hey... Or is it done out of jealousy...?

Who cares, it's art and experimentation , photoshop, digital photography, lomography... all mixed, its all art...

[thesilverdogs]

editgrapher, not photographer ;D

[session036]

@thesilverdogs Multi talented SON!

[forocious]

whats with all the negative comments? i like with uve done.. all those pretentious pricks telling u to get a real holga seriously need to pull their heads out of their asses.

i work as a photographer and own film and digital cameras but i still sometimes edit my digitals into things like what u have done.

its just about experimenting and playing.

pinsboy and the rest of them really need to get over themselves

[jzf128]

love it great job. It s the result what counts.

[arosal00]

keep the good job and dont bother with those who dont appreciate technology... they even shouldnt have youtube accounts... i would love to see the trying to post a lomo picture in here without the advance of digital photography.

People that relay on Holgas and Dianas is up to them. I respect that and dont go to their websites to offend them... here at least we can make lomo effect from a dslr and still have a great camera that take awesome pictures with excellent resolution...

What's worse than an over editor, an overblown trendo owing an holga just to own a holga. The complainers for this video are tapped.

Photoshop and modern editing and digital are actually good for art in photography. It's the final image and what it conveys that matters. The only place I draw the line is compositing and massive movement for non HDR purposes.

[romanadvora]

just spend the $20 and buy a real holga.

[pinsboy]

get a proper lomo and stop being a over edited bum.

this makes me soo disappointed in moden day photographers.

argh!

[session036]

@pinsboy your about or more years late pa, this is an old video.

[pinsboy]

@session036 i dont think that realy makes a difference. unless you have stopped doing stuff like that.

[curtismichael14]

@pinsboy bums are the ones that don't edit there photos,real photographers can spend hours editing just 1 photo,making it the way they see it in there mind..ever heard of the old photography saying "Make pictures don't just take them"

[loganwer30]

i want to break my holga and all of my medium format equipment over your head. take your 20d and stick to senior portraits and pictures of your dog.

[session036]

@loganwer30 Logan. Next time you are in the NYC area, I can arrange that. In the mean time, thanks for your reply and the added view.

[iSkateBoard10]

how can i put my holga pictures in my pc, can i only do it with a scanner?!

[session036]

Hi. take the original film and go to a good photoshop, ask them to scan your film and put it on a CD. better then scanning pics

[iSkateBoard10]

omg thanks so much! not much ppl answer you these days without cursing you out, btw does cvs or walgreens do that?! hehe i live in miami beach so there is almost no photoshops here

[oneeyedman1988]

shut up bjatsch.

[KitHarwood]

Get the fuck out.

[BubbaCoop]

You could always buy your own negative scanner.

[djbumbum123]

@iSkateBoard10 in photo printing places they can put them on dics so you can copy it on your computer and put it on facebook youtube ect. hope i've helped :-)

[PresidentZhuo]

awesome, love your set of pictures

[Holgaphotography]

Even though I prefer to use a real Holga, I like your shots, nice work!

[Bexdastar]

thanks I will try my best x

[Bexdastar]

Wow session036 pleas please do a Lomo photo tutorial ..you would unlock ultimate hapiness in my life ...love your work

[session036]

I just wing it. mess with the colors.... thanks tho

[jankrix]

Author, I guess you did a pretty good job here. Lomography is about philosophy and simply you could get lomo result in anyway, but it doesn't also mean we can't use photoshop to achieve such result...that's the style you like, that's the style you get.

btw lomo is not the pioneer in that phylosophy... Monsieur Benson probably the best street photographer that do work just like lomo shooter before lomo is getting famouse.

In japan there's term 'osanpo camera' similar to Lomography...

[ChingusChild]

I dig it. I like to try to make my photos look vintage as well. Its a fun challenge. Of course I own vintage film cameras but lets face it. Its not always as convenient to shoot everything on a film camera.

[session036]

Thanks. Glad you have a different perspective with looking at photography. very cool.

[djma26]

What is lomo? how lomo differs from a digital cam?

[hossrex]

But... the fun of lomography is using a $30 toy camera that you can take everywhere without worrying about breaking it.

This is like putting a blanket over your HD television set, just so you can pretend you're listening to the radio.

[session036]

but if someone was being creative and wanted to come up with a way to pretend they are listening to a radio, I guess putting a blanket over a HD television would be one option. I have 3 Dianas, 2 lomos a HOLGAand a bunch of other old school cameras. The point was to try to recreate LOMO with a high tec digital camera. Part of it was to play around with photoshop.

[hossrex]

Half the point of lomography is ALWAYS carrying a camera you wouldn't mind throwing off a cliff. A camera you wouldn't mind handing to a stranger so he can take a picture of you.

I love lomography. I love radio.

But I can't understand why someone would imitate lomography, or pretend their HD television didn't have a picture.

[session036]

thank you for your comment. Glad you are interested in photography. But, Im not going to justify my work or motivation behind. And, you don't have to understand it. You are taking this way to seriously, Instead of berating my work, perhaps you should dust off your LOMO and post a slide show. I'd love to see other peoples work. Good luck!

[QwoPhasaArius]

@hossrex I'm laughing so hard right now. I'm stealing that analogy, if you dont mind..

[applepiewithtoast]

@hossrex But... the fun thing about photography is that there are no rules. Who cares if your equipment costs $30 or $3000?

[LudaNYC]

love them. i've been trying to find a gimp tutorial for this effect, but no luck so far. how did you learn or did you just work it out for yourself? Would love some pointers or links to tutorials

[session036]

Thanks Lunda. I just played around in photoshop. Added a vinett, made the corners dark, played with saturation and a bunch of other alterations. just very basic adjustments... Thx for your comment

[moonwaterzen]

To throw in my bit (not that anyone cares) I think what ever gets you in that creative "zen" experience is good. I' ve owned Leicas, Hasselblads , Nikons etc. but am now having the time of my life playing with a couple pieces of junk (holga, and holga WPC) creating interesting images, and am very enthusiastic about holgas. I however would never be offended by someone faking the look of a holga image. That's like driving a Yugo and looking down smugly at the Aston Martin next to you!

[kingphil1969]

God! People take themselves so fooking seriously! I think these images look great! Superb job.

[PrieRuso]

DIGITAL LOMO? it's sick...

[acidmaniac]

What's stopping you from playing in photoshop with film photography scanned in? Don't get me wrong, I love playing in photoshop and have for years but you just can't beat the original. Taking a film photograph and trying to make it look like a digital photograph is far more fun and changelling imo. I recomend it.

[session036]

I am not really sure what your issue is. But, all I wanted to do was "try" to turn some digital images into a LOMO Look, thats it. You are taking this way too serious. I have 50 rolls of film, 2 Lomos, and unlimited access to a lab that cross processes film. This was just a project and I was bored. is that ok with you?

[spaded]

kinda takes away the fun really

[session036]

Takes away from the fun.. for you or me? I have just as much fun messing around in photoshop as I do driving 10 miles to the closest lab that will cross process. but thanks for your reply.

[spaded]

then build a small lab for urself :)

trust me

it is worth it

[comezonico]

i agree with you

[dayuhanspace]

can yu teach me how to do this on a nikon?

[session036]

yes.. but it was done in photoshop., any camera will do

[maraz71]

sux..

[japimportssuck]

I just bought my LOMO, very excited.

[glereyra]

Who would want these cameras digital! The most fun is having a film camera in your pocket and devoping our own photos!

But that's just my point of view!

[80Cetbal08]

I agree!

[jeka300]

digital lomo???

[session036]

You read correct. Digital lomo,  I tried to recreate the lomo effect with my canon20d and photoshop

[jondamasceno]

Ok... but how you did it?

[DEADAGONE]

these shots are good dont get me wrong but they dont have the feel of a lomo image or a holga one there just isnt any soul to it you can tell whats been changed to look lo fi and dark and cross processed you should just spend the 70 bucks and get a real proper holga camera take some shots and then tell me which one is better

[session036]

Thanks for your reply. I agree - I have a few lomos and 1 Holga, no time to take them in to develop. I really should tho. Thanks for stopping by.

[jazzfoook]

Great Shots! I like the music too, wwhat is it?
