I want to give you a quick glimpse into one our creative inspirations. It’s a method of taking pictures that results in breathtaking images, compositions, and “moments of truth”.
Lomography seems very “zen” to me. I don’t mean that in a spiritual way. Just a natural, effortless approach to taking photographs.
How many of you have posed for a picture and stared at the camera for an uncomfortable amount of time until it finally flashes. The results? Predictable.
Do you shoot pictures that way? Holding the camera eye level with the subject. Making sure you don’t cut off anything. Everyone looking right at you and smiling.
*click* … booorrriiinnnggg.
But don’t feel bad. Most of the camera carrying public takes pictures like that.
Chances are you have a digital camera. If you want to take more real, dynamic, or interesting photos, give this stuff a shot. (lame pun intended.)
Put yourself in the right place, time, frame of mind and boom – you can get awesome images. Success has less to do with how hard you’re trying, and everything to do with how flexible you’re willing to be.
Somewhere there’s a metaphor in there for smart video marketing. You figure it out. I’m going to take some pictures.
