In November 1992, the Lomographic Society International was founded.
And in the eventful 20 years since, we’ve shot from the hip, broken the rules, introduced a whole selection of new analogue cameras to the world and ensured the future is analogue!
In celebration of the past 2 decades, we’ve put together a selection of hidden gems for you to enjoy. Consider this your treasure trove of analogue goodness. Over the next 12 months, we’ll update you with the best photos, articles and random goodies from Lomography history. We’ll also keep you in the loop on our party plans, special promotions and brand new Anniversary cameras!
