LOMO是的全称Leningradskoye Optiko Mechanichesckoye Obyedinenie(列宁格勒光学仪器厂)，是当今俄罗斯最大的光学仪器生产厂。今天LOMO已经成为LOMO LC-A的代名词。LOMO LC-A是该厂在前苏联时期研制生产的35毫米自动曝光旁轴相机，最初是模仿莱卡的Minox，用来装备前苏联的。20世纪80年代后期停产。

Lomography是奥地利Lomographische AG公司的商标，该公司提供与摄影相关的产品与服务。Lomography的名称源光学制造商LOMO公司。1980年代，LOMO公司生产了35厘米的全自动相机LOMO LC-A，此产品成为Lomography的市场营销的核心。

Lomography is a commercial trademark of Lomographische AG, which their creators associate to a photographic image style and an analog camera movement and community facilitated by The Lomographic Society International. The Lomographic Society International was founded in 1992 by a group of Viennese students after they discovered the LCA, a camera created by LOMO PLC of Saint Petersburg, Russia. Lomography started as an art movement through which the students put on exhibitions of photos within Vienna; the art movement then developed into a commercial enterprise. Since 1995, Lomography has been the sole distributor of the LC-A camera outside the former Soviet Union, and has moved into producing their own range of analog cameras, films and accessories.
