Denis Karagodin, Tomsk, Russia
Favorite Lomo Cameras: Holga maybe. All cameras with wide angle lenses. And I love my main GDR’s film camera PRAKTICA L (Carl Zeiss Jena DDR Flektogon 2.8/35).
Favorite effect produced by Lomo cameras: vignettes, wide angle lines & filmdust!
Favorite film to use: Fujifilm Superia 200, DNP Centuria 200, Kodak Professional BW400CN
Favorite photos taken with a Lomo camera
How long have you been doing Lomography?
Since Summer 2008.
What got you started in Lomography?
A tangle of emotional experience. Wound of threads of everyday life would not trouble one for some time. But one day it will become too big to stay unnoticed. One has to take a lomo camera to discharge, to zero, to relax. I believe that strong and deep inner world, the world of inner conflict and complex inner work provide a basis for excellent lomo shots.

Why do you Lomo?
I just document my life.
This article was first published in 2009.
Why We Lomo was a project I started in 2009 to feature the many faces that Lomography has managed to capture. Its home was a now-defunct creative blog but has since found its new home here. Be sure to check back every fortnight on Tuesdays for a new featured profile. Know a Lomography enthusiast? Email me at hello[at]nikipaniki.com.
