Lomography LomoChrome Turquoise 35 mm ISO 100-400 Film Sample Photos in Porto, Portugal!

You guys know I love LomoChrome Purple film in both 35 mm and medium format), but in the past I had only tried the LomoChrome Turquoise in 120 format. I finally purchased a roll of 35 mm Turquoise film and took it with me to Portugal! I used my trusty Minolta Maxxum STsi (one of my favorite 35 mm travel cameras) and took photos on our all-day bus tour in the Douro Valley and all throughout Porto. I’m kind of obsessed with the results! I love any film that adds a surreal atmosphere to my images and this film definitely does that. Plus, the Minolta Maxxum STsi has a panorama setting, which is perfect for traveling and allows me to capture wide landscapes and unusual compositions. You can read more about that camera on my blog here!

As you’ll see in the sample photos below, skin tones typically show up as blue, which is super unique and strange. If you’re looking for a film to push you out of your comfort zone and create an alien world, this is it! I love the way it looks with architecture, particularly. It’s very moody and cinematic, with quite a bit of grain, especially with multiple exposures. It also seemed to do decently well in low light situations. I probably wouldn’t use this film for a typical wedding or portrait client, but I would definitely consider it for a musician or artist who are looking for stand-out portraits.

I still think I might like the LomoChrome purple film better, but it’s always fun to try something new. One of the reasons I love Lomography so much is because of their fearlessness when it comes to creating new and unique films. I haven’t really found anything out there on the market that resembles the LomoChrome Purple or Turquoise films. They are truly unique.

If you’re feeling bold and adventurous, here are a few of my favorite unique Lomography films! Make sure to scroll to the bottom of this post to see the rest of the images I took with the LomoChrome Turquoise film in Portugal!

Lomography LomoChrome Purple XR 100-400 35 mm Film Sample Photos in Kauai, Hawaii

When it comes to Lomography’s LomoChrome Purple XR 100-400 35 mm film, people seem to either love it or hate it. Personally, I LOVE it. First of all, my favorite color is purple (more specifically, lavender) so when Lomography created the LomoChrome Purple film, I bought it as quickly as I could. I think a large part of the reason people don’t like it is because they don’t understand it. They don’t get why someone would want to shoot with a film that doesn’t accurately represent reality. For me, I’m always looking for a way to make my photos more unique. What’s the point of creating the same images that everyone else has created? And the more surreal I can make my images, the more I love them. I’d rather create images that transport me to another world then create images that look exactly like the world that I see every single day. Of course, most of the time I end up shooting with regular color film when I’m hired by clients, but whenever I take a trip out of the country, I always make sure to bring at least one roll of LomoChrome Purple. And when I get home and send my film out to get processed, that’s always the roll of film I’m most excited to get back to see how the photographs turned out.

Here are my favorite LomoChrome Purple photographs from our trip to Kauai. I hope these sample photos help to give you an idea of what this film is capable of. I love all of the tones and the overall calming and unusual atmosphere that the film creates. Let me know your thoughts below!

You can pick up a roll of LomoChrome Purple on Amazon HERE.

3 Best 120 Films to use with a Holga Toy Camera - Film Photography Tips

BEST BLACK & WHITE AND COLOR FILMS TO USE WITH A HOLGA

If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably know that the Holga (particularly the Holga 120 GCFN) is my favorite camera of all time. It’s a cheap, plastic camera but is capable of taking some truly unique photographs. It’s the one camera I never leave home without! I’ve been shooting with the Holga for almost 15 years now and I’ve tried quite a few different film brands with it at this point. I wanted to share my 3 favorite films I’ve used over the years and why I keep going back to them. Make sure to check out my blog post and YouTube video about the Holga here!

1. Lomography Color Negative 120 ISO 400 - My absolute favorite film to use with the Holga. Lomography‘s color 120 films are actually some of the more affordable ones out there, especially if you buy in bulk to save on shipping costs. The best part about this film is the bright, vibrant colors. I’ve noticed that films like Kodak Portra (which I love using for some of my other cameras) just tend to turn out flat and unexciting when using the Holga. Because the images taken with the Holga aren’t the sharpest or most detailed, having a vibrant and bold color film REALLY makes a difference. Plus, the 400 film speed works in both bright light and lower light situations. It’s the most versatile film speed for the Holga, in my opinion. The 100 speed color negative film by Lomography is also great!

2. FUJIFILM Neopan 100 Acros II Black & White Negative Film - While I’ll forever miss the original Neopan Acros 100 film, this one is still amazing. The first film I ever used with a Holga was Neopan Acros 100 and I’m still obsessed with the fine grain and moodiness of the film. It’s super sharp, has beautiful tones and creates interesting images when used in low light BECAUSE of the slow film speed. I used to use black and white film a lot more than I do now, but I’ll always cherish the magic and nostalgia of black and white film. I prefer to shoot in color now to allow myself the option of converting to black and white.

3. Lomography LomoChrome Purple XR 100-400 Color Negative Film - I know this isn’t a popular opinion, but I LOVE this film. It’s unique, dreamy and interesting. I think the combination of the Holga and Purple Lomochrome film works really well together. I know I’m a weird person anyway, so if people want to think I’m weird for liking this film, that’s just another day for me. Photographers have a LOT of opinions on this film, but personally, I think if someone hates this film, it's because they’ve never taken a good photo with it. ;)
