In this video training, I would like to show you how to recreate the so-called Lomo Effect in Photoshop. Lomo comes from Lomography, a style in photography. This style originated from the 35mm camera "LOMO Compact Automat". The images produced by this camera are usually blurry, hazy, high-contrast, and slightly darkened at the edges. In the end, we are replicating the image defects of this camera. However, this distinct style has its own beautiful charm, so it can no longer be really considered as "defects".
