Lomography is a genre of photography, involving taking spontaneous photographs with minimal attention to technical details. Lomographic images often exploit unpredictable  non-standard optical traits of cheap toy camera such as light leaks and irregular lens alignment and non-standard film processing techniques for aesthetic effect.  Lomography really started to take of in the year 2011. While cheap plastic toy cameras using film were and are produced by multiple manufactures, lomography is named after the Soviet-era cameras produced by the Leningradskoye Optiko-Mekhanicheskoye Obyedinenie which is also where lomogrhaphy gets it’s name from because the first letter of each of them words spells out lomo which is how it gets the name lomography.

To do lomography you could do with some special cameras one of the special cameras is called The Diana camera. The Diana camera is a plastic-bodied toy camera using 120 roll-film and 35 mm film. The camera has a simple plastic meniscus lens. this camera is good to use for lomography because of the style of the lens because of the type of glass in the lens it gives the camera a type of soft focus which helps the photos to get the aesthetic look you are after with lomography.
