Lomography is today known as a style of photography with specific effect, ie blurred focus, lurid colours and degraded edges (vignette effect). Conventionally, only pictures taken with a Lomo camera LC-A (Lomographische AG of Austria) are considered Lomography.
Today, many photo-editors and graphics software are able to produce the Lomo effect rather convincingly, but they will never be accepted for competitions held by Lomography Society International. Many cheap cameras are also able to produce the Lomo-effect, although most of the time, it is registered as "undesired" rather a sought after quality by the common public.

These includes:
1. Take your LOMO everywhere you go...
2. Use it anytime - day or night...
3. Lomography is not an interference in your life, but a part of it...
4. Shoot from the hip... (this could mean low angle photography, or just don't bother using the view-finder)
5. Approach the objects of your Lomographic desire as close as possible...
6. Don't think...

7. Be fast...
8. You don't have to know beforehand what you've captured on film...
9. You don't have to know afterwards, either...
10. Don't worry about the rules...
