I'm always amazed with the blogs written by others saying something about their Top 10 lomographers and posting their best shots. I've been wanting to do the same, write something good about my Top 10, pick their best shots and all that stuff, when I asked myself this question: Who are my Top 10 anyway?
I tried my very best to come up with my Top 10 without checking anyone’s lomohome and I almost lost my sanity since there are a lot of great lomographers in this community. To narrow down my selection, I decided to choose from my fellow Filipino lomographers. Again, without looking at their lomohomes, I tried to think of some usernames who have damaged a part of my brain after having a glympse of their work in the past. And finally, I came up with 13 usernames. Some of the folks below are buddies, some I haven’t met yet, some are not even my friends here in LSI (but hopefully we’ll be, soon). I tried to eliminate 3 to make it 10 but I don’t know who to let go. That’s why I have below my Top 13 Filipino lomographers.
In no particular order:
I was amazed by his multiple-exposed shots through different cameras, almost-indecipherable abstract doubles, and cool self-portraits, first on the list is lakandula http://lomography.com/homes/lakandula/popular
A graphic artist who made his daughters almost the center of his lomoworld. He also has his own street named after him, second on the list is boredbone.
The first picture on the set below is one of the best shots of 2011 I should say. Accurate is the best word for the second shot while weird is for the last. Number three on my list is antibiotyx.
He has set the bar for mulitple exposure on clouds. Each time he points his LCA+ on to the clouds and pushes the mx button, his next subjects are unimaginable. Clouds master, stitch.
The picture of his wife always remind me that there’s nothing impossible in shooting film and it can catch up with photoshop, or even beat it! Unexpectedly vivid colors come out naturally as you cross-process your film. A professor and now a father to a future lomographer, fifth on the list is renenob.
If you check the lomohome of this guy below, under the popular section, you will see the most number of feet shots. And they’re not just feet shots, they’re awesome feet shots. Let’s check out, panelomo.
Let’s take a break. How about going to the beach?
This lady definitely loves the beach. If you want to go to the beach without getting wet and without moving your ass off your bed, go to blumie5’s lomohome and you can feel the warmth of the sun and the cool summer breeze through her photos.
I always envy her for being able to set foot on one of the most beautiful islands in the Philippines, Batanes. One of the most well-traveled lomographer and the queen of supersampler, zoe191.
I had hard time choosing who I will write something about first between these two young ladies so I’ll just describe them both at the same time. One is more girly than the other, they both shoot anything, literally anything under the sun, but their subjects always make sense. They always have a photo under the selected section. They’re both jolly and energetic when it comes to comments and likes! And who are they that share the same spot on my list? They’re grazie and b0rn2b1ush.
If Jakarta has sondyy, Manila has jcgepte. I’m not comparing, just sharing. His work will speak for himself. Check him out: jcgepte
I haven’t checked this guy’s albums lately but what captured my attention in the past was his album called Wanderlust. His off the road sets and shoots with models are also worth checking. 12th on my list is ethermoon.
He’s one of the most active when it comes to lomowalks and/or any events related to lomography. He always win the lomojeopardy game on twitter. Always win the rumbles. He also shoots weddings for free. Last on my list is none other than icuresick.
There are some that I thought of that are on the same caliber but they’re not active here anymore (or maybe active somewhere else?) so I excluded them from the list. I might have also missed some, I’ll make it up to you next time, blame it on my sleepy head.
