Lomography shop in London
In the early 1990’s, a group of students discovered a small
Russian camera (the Lomo Kompact Automat) and marked
the beginning of a new era of experimental, easy, lo-fi photo-
graphy.
Lomography was born in the Vienna underground
and progressively conquered the world. There is now a new
Lomography temple in London. Located at number 3

more than just a store: there are workshops, exhibitions,
music and parties… The interactive expression of a new
cultural age.
