Lomograph turns your regular photos into experimental and creative analog film pictures. If you are looking for an easy to use app that transforms your favorite digital photos into nostalgic memories, then look no further! Lomograph has everything you need to reproduce the same style of vintage cameras by applying light leaks, retro filters, analog date stamps and special effects. Lomography is traditionally characterized by its inherent low-fi quality. Lomographic images often have retro light effects caused by extra light leaking into the camera body, with ultra-saturated colors, blurring, vignetting, and other imperfections generally avoided in modern photography. When we launched the Lomograph app, the retro camera filter had a resurgence in popularity because the unique filters clearly stand out from all other photo editors. Lomograph is available for free, but also offers various in-app purchases to unlock hundreds of filter variations. Lomograph FREE photo editing features include numerous effects and filters. Effects: - random date - custom date - distortion - dust Filters: - sever - iskra - moskva - malina - zenit - kedr - voshod - saint p - leto - date stamp Each filter has many unique variations. Just tap on a photo that you are working on to apply different variations until you find the perfect one. Premium Collections: - Space Odyssey - Pastel Pink Tones - Scout Camp ""Artek"" - Nina's Gossips - White Nights - Tenderness Each collection contains more than 210 variations across 8 filters.
