How to Create the LOMO Effect for Your Digital Photos

When the LOMO LC-A camera was first created in the early 1980’s, the photographers regarded it as a poorly-built camera and a poor photo-taker.

Due to the unique look, the LOMO photography became immensely popular in the 1990’s and the popularity has been growing ever since.
