Sara Guerrero on Experimenting with the Lomomatic 110

Sara Guerrero, talented photographer and filmmaker based in Barcelona, fell in love with Lomography many years ago, when she shared a Diana F+ with her big sister, and found photography to be a powerful way to express herself.

Today we share with you her wonderful photos taken with the latest addition to her camera collection, our Lomomatic 110, which she also turned into moving sequences to create videos with a nostalgic and unique touch.

Hello Sara, welcome to Lomography magazine! Can you please introduce yourself to our readers?

Hi there! I’m Sara, a photographer and filmmaker based in Barcelona.

When did your journey as a photographer start?

I started modeling as a teenager, and through that, I discovered my passion for storytelling. This led me to photography, where I began collaborating with brands and projects I admired. Now, I work in both modeling and photography, and I’ve found self-portraiture to be a powerful way to express myself creatively.

You shoot mostly on film for your projects. How did analogue photography become an important part of your vision?

Analogue photography allows me to create an aesthetic that feels closer to the vision I have when I’m conceptualizing a project. It adds a layer of authenticity and rawness that, in the beginning, I can’t always achieve with digital formats, making the process feel more genuine and connected to the moment.

How would you define your photographic style?

My style retains a sense of calm, simplicity, and softness. I love creating dreamy, atmospheric images, often inspired by nature. Whether it’s through self-portraiture or capturing small details around me, I’m drawn to moments that feel natural and evoke a sense of quiet beauty.

For these beautiful photos, you used the Lomomatic 110. What was your impression of the camera?

The Lomomatic 110 quickly impressed me with its pocket-sized design. I had never tried the 110 format before, so I was really curious to see how it would perform. It was quite fun! I used the double exposure mode, which is something I really enjoy. It allowed me to create layered, atmospheric images with a unique feel.

Can you tell us a bit more about these photos?

I brought the camera with me on my summer holidays around France and the Basque Country. Its compact size made it easy to carry everywhere. The photos weren’t about creating something grand or pretentious—just capturing the small, beautiful details of the moments I was living.

The Lomomatic was not the first Lomography camera you have used! When did you get to know Lomography and what other cameras have you tried?

My big sister introduced me to Lomography about 10-15 years ago —we shared a Diana for a while, then got La Sardina, and I loved the colors and textures it produced. My curiosity about camera mechanics led me to the Konstruktor. The Lomomatic was the last camera I added to my collection, and it became a key tool when I started experimenting with video. I enjoyed developing the photos and turning the frames into moving sequences, which added a unique, nostalgic touch to my projects.

Do you have any upcoming projects you would like to share with our community?

Lately, I’ve been deeply immersed in commissioned work, but in the new year, I’m eager to step back, explore more, and focus on creating travel photo essays. Thanks to Lomography and this project, I’ve rediscovered my love for carrying a camera everywhere, and I’m excited to see where this journey takes me. See you soon!
