Tips

Instant Postcards
Go on holiday, but don’t buy postcards. Instead, take one instant photo for every place you go, scribble a caption at the bottom and send them to people you love.

Catch the Sunset
Switch to Auto Mode and shoot the sun as it sets. Use your glue dots to stick your instants on your wall and make a beautiful sunset photo series.

Don’t Think, Just Shoot!
Auto mode on, brain off.

Don’t Wait for Things to Happen, Make Them Happen
Buy some sparklers and wait until dusk. Switch to Bulb ("B") Mode and use your sparkler to weave beautiful shapes into your long exposures. Use a tripod to hold the camera still!

Follow The Light
Find a spot full of bright lights in your city. Set your camera to Bulb ("B") Mode, put it on a tripod facing the light, and use the remote control to shoot. Watch the light snake into electric lines across your shake-free long exposures.

Aaaaaa…
Spend a week shooting photos of things that begin with the first letter of your name. Using the “MX” Mode, layer each one with a Multiple Exposure where you take a self-portrait of yourself.

Be Kind
Stand 0.3 meters away and take a portrait of someone on “MX” Mode. Then remind them they are beautiful. Watch their face light up and take a second picture as a Multiple Exposure.

Man vs Nature
Take a walk in the city and shoot the urban skyline. Then head to the park and take a close-up of the most beautiful flowers you can find as a Multiple Exposure. Watch two worlds collide as your print develops.

Be Your Own Hero
You are beautiful today. Explore the different focusing distances on your Automat Glass and use the Remote Control to shoot a series of self-portraits — head and shoulders, half length and full length.

Love is All You Need
Go to a place you love with your best friend and shoot a photo of you both with the Remote Control. Put your picture in an envelope, seal it and keep it safe. Open it up on a rainy day when you’re feeling blue.

Color Your Life
Shoot with the full spectrum of colors by using the Color Gels on your Flash. Create your own rainbow by hanging your results on your wall, ordered by color.

Create Your Own Universe
Throw a party. Create your very own photo booth using a cardboard frame and accessories, and let your guests dress up and use your Automat Glass to take pictures. Leave the Flash on to capture each detail of every picture!

Let the Light In
Sugarcoat your surroundings by shooting with the +1 Setting: this will overexpose your photos and taint everything with a delicate, pale hue.

Life’s a Beach
Take a holiday — you deserve one. In extremely bright situations like on a beach or in snow, shoot on the -1 Setting to absorb all the light being reflected around you.

Every Face Tells a Story
Pay a visit to your grandparents. Use the Close-Up Lens to capture their beautiful faces, where each line tells a story. Paste your images into a scrapbook next to hand-written accounts of their favorite memories.

Flower Power
Go for a walk in the park and find five beautiful flowers. Attach your Close-Up Lens, take a picture of each one and post your bouquet of instants to someone you love. These flowers will never wilt!

Find Heaven on Earth
Turn the world upside down and create a surreal realm between heaven and earth. Use the Splitzer to combine a shot of the bright blue sky with a shot of a vast landscape.

Opposites Attract
Conceal, reveal; dark, light; absence, presence… Find inspiration in opposites and marry them in one image with the Splitzer.

We Are One
Turn you and your soulmate into one entity with the help of the Splitzer. Take a picture of your friend’s upper body and mix it with your lower body.

Get Your Five a Day
Take your Automat Glass to the market and place it 0.3m away from the greengrocer’s boxes of fruit. Thanks to the glass lens, you’ll be able to capture the shape and shade of each fruit with perfect precision.

Diner Date
Head to your local diner with a group of your best friends. Switch to Auto Mode and let the f/4.5 aperture capture the retro foodie fun. Despite the low light surroundings, your instants will be perfectly exposed — without even using the flash. Make sure you rest your Automat Glass on something steady to get the shot in focus, though!

Coffee Catch Ups
Head to your favorite coffee spot on a sunny day with your best friend. Choose a window seat, turn the flash off on your Automat Glass, and let the f/4.5 aperture capture the sunlight shining on your best friend’s face for a beautiful, naturally lit portrait.

Take to the Streets
Tuck your Automat Glass into your bag and head to your favorite city. Switch to Auto Mode and let the glass lens capture bustling street scenes in beautiful clarity and impeccable focus.

Pocket a Smile
Stand 0.3 meters away and use your Lomo’Instant Automat Glass to snap a portrait of your favorite person. Slip it into your wallet so that it can light up your day sometime.

Be a Night Owl
Call your friends, dress up and hit the town. Use the built-in wide-angle lens and remote control to take a group picture before you leave, and then count on the f/4.5 aperture to capture the fun right through to dawn.
