8.Lo-Fi Photography
Lo-fi, derived from “low fidelity,” has its origins in music production, signifying a deliberately raw or unpolished sound.
However, as art forms intersect, lo-fi migrated to photography, capturing images that ooze nostalgia, imperfection, and authenticity.
Lo-fi photography celebrates graininess, blurred lines, light leaks, and other “flaws” that digital perfection often eradicates.
A byproduct of analog film cameras and early digital devices, it became an aesthetic pursued in the age of high-definition clarity.
Photographers like David Hamilton and Nan Goldin inadvertently embraced aspects of this style, capturing candid, moody shots that resonate with emotions over precision.
In the digital age, amidst the quest for pixel-perfect images, lo-fi photography stands as a testament to the beauty of imperfection, evoking feelings of nostalgia and an escape from the over-saturated mainstream.
