Lomography is a term often used to describe the use of lo-fi film cameras, such as the Lomo LC-A, Diana and Holga.

These inexpensive and cheaply made cameras are often made with built in lenses, such as fisheyes and produce inconsistent and unpredicatable results, which when paired with unusual film processing can produce interesting and experimental results.

"Lomo style" images can be replicated with digital processing, which allows for a greater degree of control, and recently software developers have started to produce applications for devices such as the iPhone that emulate the film effect.
