My newest obsessions are Lomography Cameras, which emphasize snapshot photography and inspire a lighthearted and fun approach to the art of photo taking. As fashionistas mourn the slow death of the Polaroid instant camera, Lomography cameras offer another kitschy and nostalgic way to capture perfect style moments, nights out with the girls and the world around us. Some of the great photographic effects their cameras create:

The Oktomat 8 Lens Camera- 8 clicks and 2.5 seconds later you can create your own mini- masterpiece. Lomography.com has an application which allows you to upload your images and animate them. Soo cool.

Colorsplash allows you to manipulate the color of your image by simply rotating the colored flash lights. Experimenting with the exposure time, exterior light and subject color can create endless potential outcomes.

The Fisheye lens needs little introduction- your entire surroundings compacted into one little neat, ironic, brightly-colored image.

With the Pop 9 Fixed Focus Camera one single shot produces nine identical images on to one shot- instantly transforming your photograph into pattern-repeating pop-art.

Lomography cameras have the added bonus of being absolutely adorable. So, not only will you be taking awesome photographs but you will be looking pretty cute while doing so. Below is the Oktomat 8, Colorsplash, Fisheye and Pop 9.
