Lomography Effects

After researching many artists, they seem to be using a lot of different toy cameras. I have researched each camera of interest and how they get the effects shown.

This image was taken on a Diana F+ Mini. With this camera, it is possible to go back to other frames and take another shot over another shot, creating a double exposure. This can be done many times but if too much light is exposed it is easy to ruin a frame. With any camera like this, there are great risks because the camera is only plastic and there can be a lot of light leaks which can ruin a whole film. These cameras are temperamental but as you can see here, you can get some really nice images from these cameras. I really like the way that the face of the figure almost merges in with clouds in the sky.

This image was again taken with a Diana F+ Mini. Most holga cameras take 120 film but the Diana mini takes 35mm film. Because holga images tend to be square, there is an option whether you have square or rectangular images. If you choose the rectangular option, you can have two images per frame. For this image, the rectangular option was chosen and two images were taken on one frame. With this option, you can take two images that compliment each other and create unusual compositions.

This was taken using a Super Sampler camera. This particular camera has four lens and they shoot in canon. The time between each lens taking an image can be adjusted so more movement from the figure can be done. In this image, the canon time was very short so all the images of the figure appear the same. I really like this look because again, similar to the rectangular option on the Diana Mini, you can get some really interesting and surreal compositions.

This image was taken using a fish eye camera. This camera takes a rectangular image and warps it to become a circle. I really like this effect but it doesn't seem to be as versatile as the Diana mini and super sampler because there is very little you can do in terms of unusual composition. Also, the effect isn't always as visible  as the others.
