Analogue cameras prove to be a hit among young S’poreans
Channel NewsAsia - 2 hours 46 minutes ago
SINGAPORE: Taking photos with film may be old school in the world of digital cameras. But a group of mostly young Singaporeans are having great fun with analogue cameras.
Cindy was one of the first few lomographers in Singapore seven years ago but now, she no longer feels so alone.
Since she co—founded Lomotion SG in 2006, the community has grown to over 2,200 members.
It’s point, snap and flash. That’s the beauty of lomo cameras. But unlike digital cameras, one has to wait till the entire roll of film is finished before being able to see how a shot has turned out.
It’s precisely this aspect of the unknown that has many hooked.
Cindy Tan, founder, Lomotion SG, said: "It’s the surprise element you get from film photography. You won’t know the outcome. You don’t care. You get to see and you get to wow about it."
Lomo cameras are also known for producing photos with over—saturated colours, distortions and light leaks.
Members meet regularly to take pictures of everyday life.
But some have taken the photography style further.
Jimmy Phua, founder, Lomotion SG, said: "For example maybe like weddings, they say I want lomo shots. Why not?"
The group recently celebrated its second anniversary with an exhibition, featuring works of over a hundred lomographers.
Enthusiasts said lomography is a popular term describing snapshot film photography just like how everyone said ’scotchtape’ to describe cellophane tape.
The term came about as other brands also latched on to making cameras like the lomo brand, which was the first to be launched worldwide some 20 years ago. — CNA/vm
