Lomography Magazine Why Photographers Love the LomoChrome Films


WHY PHOTOGRAPHERS LOVE THE LOMOCHROME FILMS

1 15 Share Tweet

In photography, there are two stages that the creative lensman takes: the first
is the objective stage, where the photographer learns all the rules and
fundamentals of the craft. The next is the creative stage. This is where all of
the learned rules are being broken and challenged through constant experiments.
Color-shifting films like the ones from the LomoChrome Film Family (the
LomoChrome Purple, LomoChrome Turquoise and LomoChrome Metropolis) create a
colorful backdrop for the endless imagination and visions of the artist, making
them loved, special, and constantly in demand. Read the outpour of appreciation
for the LomoChrome films, coming from your favorite analogue photographers!

EASILY AND EFFORTLESSLY BEAUTIFUL

For the inexperienced yet aspiring artist, analogue photography can be quite
daunting at first. Even for the expert film shooter, color-calibrating with film
is a meticulous task and often ends up with additional efforts in the darkroom.
However, films like the LomoChrome Purple and LomoChrome Turquoise are great
films to choose from, whether you're just learning the ropes or are an expert
photographer. Producing artful images has never been this natural and easy.

> “Many of the pictures I’ve taken with LomoChrome Purple and Turquoise are
> honestly some of the most beautiful images I’ve ever created. Those stocks
> really are something special, and they help produce special pictures too.” —
> Kate Hook

For some artist photographers, the cool tones of the LomoChrome Metropolis film
make the process of color-grading like a breeze: less time and hassle in the
darkroom!

> “I was pleasantly surprised by the tones, it was like stepping back 20 years
> to when I used to cross-process to get similar tones, with the Metropolis film
> you don't need inverted developments because these tones are already the
> film's characteristic.” — Marco Trinchillo

FOR EXTREME AND SUBTLE COLOR-SHIFTING EXPERIMENTS

While real-life may not be in full purple or green, these limitations cannot
confine the photographer in the world of art and images. It's through colors as
to how they express moods and feelings in their work. Some love the stark and
extreme color-shifting of reality in their photos. Some appreciate subtle shifts
more. With the flexible extended ISO of the LomoChrome films, the photographer's
expectations are easily met and satisfied.

> "With both films [LomoChrome Purple and LomoChrome Turquoise] I would be
> interested in be looking into using more different creative filters... to see
> what kind of tone and effects I can achieve. It's all about the art of play in
> my work and I find these LomoChrome films really do accentuate that." -- Kate
> Hook

> "This way of distorting reality as we see it makes the moment of development
> and discovery even more intriguing...you shoot and you don't know what colors
> you will get exactly, you shoot and then everything changes. It's an important
> added value that brings Lomochrome films to a very high level of interest." --
> Claudio D'Abronzo

> "I like that this film [LomoChrome Metropolis] produces pleasant skin tones
> and unexaggerated colors suited for the kind of portraiture and documentary
> photography that I prefer." -- Arjun Duvvuru

PERFECT FOR PROJECTS AND ROUTINE BREAKERS

For the analogue experimenters, the LomoChrome films are top film stock choices
for unique, distinguished projects and for a fresh change of pace. In a recent
film swap, Lomographer @bravopires and @lalouve chose the LomoChrome Turquoise
as the shared film: "We love the singularity of it, its color-shifting capacity,
its mood." bravopires said.

Pair the LomoChrome films with an Art Lens as well for that extra surreal swirl,
as photographer Nicolette Clara Iles did:

> "I really liked using the Petzval and LomoChrome Purple/LomoChrome Turquoise
> films together! They created a nice harmony and put me slightly out of my
> comfort zone but in a good way. I’d like to use them both again." -- Nicolette
> Clara Iles

CHROMATICALLY CINEMATIC

Color will always be the heart of a photograph and a cinematic still. It's part
of the visual language for characters and stories in cinema. The LomoChrome
films are natural at creating the kind of mood one wants to portray. Greens and
purples coming from the LomoChrome Turquoise and LomoChrome Purple are coveted
for enigmatic settings, often with an element of fantasy. the LomoChrome
Metropolis is often sought for its melancholic palette -- like a nostalgic
coming-of-age film.

> "The LomoChrome Purple really makes those photos pop, and feel like they could
> be scenes from a sci-fi/horror movie!" -- Jamie Ceasar

> "It really makes everything very dramatic I think and I really enjoy that. The
> muted tones and yellowish tint to it just make me feel like I’m in a movie."
> -- Cullen Lowe

FULFILLING DREAMS AND VISIONS

Of course, the biggest reason why many love the LomoChrome films is due to their
dream-fulfilling capabilities -- quite literally! Everyone has a distinct notion
of what their dream realm looks like. Through LomoChrome films, photographers
are able to visualize their reveries and fantasy worlds. Maybe you're like
photographer Justin Mahe who has once fantasized about a sci-fi-like Greece:

> "The strange colors of the LomoChrome Turquoise are great to illustrate the
> surreal, nearly science-fiction aspects of these landscapes. Walking on the
> craters feels like exploring a new planet." -- Justin Mahe

Or like Dylana Suarez who envisioned a retro New York in purple and yellow:

> "Metropolis was amazing to shoot in Central Park in the fall because it
> accentuated the yellow tones. And then I went out of my way to shoot Central
> Park again in the spring with the Purple, because I really wanted to see how
> all the greens would look coming out against the pink cherry blossoms. I was
> not disappointed. It brought to life this dream nostalgia that NYC always
> gives me." -- Dylana Suarez

The world is entirely yours to paint on with the LomoChrome films.
