When I first stumbled upon this film several years ago, I was ecstatic to work with a film so prismatic and almost melancholic. Something about this film transports you into a dreamscape; where at times, I wish I was seeing the world as if it was Lomochrome Purple.<\/p>\n

If you learn how Lomochrome Purples’ colours transpire into the real world, you’ll have a blast envisioning your environment and experimenting with different camera settings.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Green shifts to purple (or blue)
\u2022 Yellow shifts to pink
\u2022 Orange shifts to pink-red
\u2022 Red shifts to red-brown
\u2022 Blue shifts to cyan<\/p>\n

The exciting part about using Lomochrome Purple is the anticipation around the images. You can have a good idea on how you think<\/em> your image may turn out, but those colours could be extremely saturated, or like the image below, look more desaturated.<\/p>\n

I find underexposing this film by 1 – 2 stops darkens those shadows and really intensifies the colour palette of this film. I took all these photos on the Olympus OM-1 at box speed (400).<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Some of the main takeaways I got by working with this film were that I prefered subjects that were well lit and casted deep shadows. Bright yellowish-greens brought out the richest purple. Blueish-greens caused more of a desaturated light purple. The sky reflecting on lakes or other subjects will really\u00a0<\/em>cause your subject to appear cyan; so if you want to focus on strictly purple colours, find locations that lack blue.<\/p>\n

As I shoot more with this film, I will continue to add to this post. For more resources, check out Lomographys’ blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
