Enter the latest JPG Magazine x Lomography challenge using a technique that no one knows better than you!
All Lomographers know the 10 golden-rules of Lomography like the backs of their hands, so Lomographic Rule #4 should be like second nature to you.
Just skip the viewfinder and snap away – shoot from the hip, over your head, behind your back, or between your legs.
Then send YOUR best shot in to JPG and blow their minds!
Enter here: http://www.jpgmag.com/themes/148/
If you’re one of the top hip-shot artists we see, you’ll be featured on newsstands around the world in issue #20 of JPG!
Plus, everyone who is published in JPG gets a free one-year subscription to the magazine and $100 in cold-hard cash!
PLUS…
We wanted to sweeten the deal for all you shoot-from-the-hipsters out there. The top 3 winners will each receive a brand new Lomo Lubitel 166+ Twin Lens Reflex camera!
The Lubitel+
is a loving recreation and re-invention of the classic Soviet-era wonder, now with new and improved features, including the ability to shoot both medium format and 35mm film. The top-down method of shooting makes Lubitel+ photography a somehow intimate experience.
However, it is the unique colour brilliance and surprising results this camera yields that really make the Lubitel+ one of a kind. This fully manual, re-animated TLR takes analogue photography back to the fundamentals.
Lubitel+ Highlights
- Inbuilt 35mm film conversion mechanism – The Lubikin set
- 4 image formats – including 35mm with Sprocket-hole look
- Closer & Broader Focusing
- Improved Milky Viewfinder
- Standard Hotshoe
- Stop Focus mechanism
- Rewind your 120 rolls – for immediate double exposures!
- Plus Other new features…

All other winners
will each receive a DianaF+ starter kit! The ’60’s cult camera is back and better than ever! We’ve fine-tuned this beauty and added more features, including a detachable lens system that allows you to add one of 4 lenses (sold separately), or leave the lens off and shoot pinholes!
