What is a LomoAmigo?
A LomoAmigo is an artist we collaborate with. They bring their own unique styles to our products and we publish articles in the Lomography Magazine highlighting their work.
There’s no step-by-step way to becoming a Lomo Amigo but putting yourself out there through uploading photos, interacting with the community, and joining competitions are great ways to be noticed. Another way would be pitching your ideas and concepts to us at Lomography. If you have any projects, interesting photo concepts, or if you want to pitch us anything feel free as it might create fun ideas for you and Lomography.
There have been many great LomoAmigos throughout the years. A few notable names include Neil Gaiman, Elijah Wood, Justin Thomas, and Ronmonroe.
