Lomography Purple 35mm got a refreshed formula for 2019 and is still one of the craziest 35mm emulsions on the market today!
Beautiful, bizarre, and very definitely purple - Lomography have created a film that will transport viewers of your photography into an alternative universe with surprising shades, colour shifts, and purple magic.
Please note that this is the 'Petillant' edition. In Lomography's words: depending on your scanning setup, you may see some tiny black dots appear in the lighter parts of your photo
Lomography has been at the forefront of the analogue revolution for decades. Starting in 1992 with some Viennese students falling in love with the aesthetic of a particular Soviet camera (the iconic LC-A) - they founded a movement and a company that would introduce a new generation to the joys of plastic cameras and experimental film. Periodically innovating new cameras for existing formats - and sometimes bringing back formats specially for their cameras! - they are vibrant and creative

It's a great film for experimenting with, particularly suited for walks out in the country where there is plenty of greenery for the film to do it's magic on. Having shot two rolls, shot at varied exposures and developed/scanned in different places, it seems to me that the results can vary quite significantly, but I think that's part of the fun!

Lomo Aerochrome
The closest modern film to the coveted Kodak Aerochrome. Shoot greens, yellows, and crazy cows for the most effect - predictably unpredictable!
My tips for using this film would be:
Photograph something with recognisable colours like landscapes, so it it clear that something is strange about the resulting image. Also it is rated at ISO 100 - 400 but it really likes light so I found shooting at 100 or 200 gets the best results. Direct sunlight on a subject has the best colour changing effect. And lastly so you can plan what to shoot, here is a rough guide to what the colours will do:
- Reds stay mostly red, moving a little bit to the orange
- Greens go purple (some darker greens not so much)
- Blue skies change to a turquoise (more primary colour blues get more green than the sky will)
- And my favourite, yellows turn to a hot pink
Lots of fun when you get your pictures back, definitely worth trying!

Such a fun film
A really fun film to play with, especially when heading out into nature. I haven't been so excited to get scans back in a while!

So beautiful!
This is the first time I’ve shot Lomography Purple, but it definitely won’t be the last. I’m in love with the colour shifts of this film. Makes a great alternative film stock for capturing flowers and nature, rather than standard colours. Can’t wait to use this again!
