In general, cosplay is very famous in Japan though you now have young people all around the world attending events.

This one took place in Kuala Lumpur, in the park facing the Petronas tower. I was visiting by chance and took the opportunity to capture a few looks. 

Some pictures were taken with my Leica camera and some others with my iPhone, it explains the quality variation. 

Pictures in this album were taken during my daly life. Sometimes just two steps away from my home but also when I was travelling. 

Nowadays,we absolutely want the highest technology of camera, strongest lenses to shoot. But, to my point of view, a simple mobile, iPhone, Instagram effect or even an old camera can  sometimes do the job.

I largely prefer to shoot in a lower quality than missing an opportunity to capture an amazing scenery !

Lomography is a pretty recent type of photography invented by the Lomographic Society, founded in the early nineties in Austria. The founders first experimented with Lomo LC-A, a cheap Russian toy camera. They were taken by the unique, high contrast photos with vignettes and soft focus. The original lomo cameras are the LC-A, Holga, Fisheye, Colorsplash and Supersampler.

According to Lomography.com, There are 10 rules that define ‘lomography’:

1. Take your camera everywhere you go.
2. Use it any time – day and night.
3. Lomography is not an interference in your life, but a part of it.
4. Try to shoot from the hip.
5.Approach the objects of your desire as close as possible.
6. Don’t think.
7. Be fast.
8. You don’t have to know beforehand what you captured on film.
9. Afterwards either.
10. Don’t worry about any rules!

Lomography is considered an art movement.

Personally, I sometimes add Lomography analog films to my Leica CL from 1975. 

Some pictures in this album were shot in London, Paris, HK, Lisbon and on my balcony !
