Lo-Fi Photography

Art from Do-It-Yourself Chemistry and Physics

Lo-Fi Photography is both a superb introduction to anyone curious about the science of photography and a first-rate guide to the world of experimental photography for inquisitive photographers.

Of all the arts, photography has perhaps the closest association with science and technology: the physics of light and colour combined with chemistry to capture images. Lo-Fi Photography is an ideal introduction to the science that lies behind photography and the array of simple methods that can be used to capture light and create images.

From making homemade cameras to accessible techniques, the goal of this book is to provide all readers with access to this interesting form of creative photography via how-to guides, plans and some tips and tricks. In addition to the theory and hands-on guidance, this book also explores Lo-Fi photography as a distinct art form and provides further reading and excellent sources for diving even deeper into the world of experimental photography.
