Lomography LomoChrome Purple - 35mm
LomoChrome Purple was introduced by Lomography in early 2013. Purple
was the first of the LomoChrome family, which had grown to include
LomoChrome Turquoise (sadly, now discontinued) and LomoChrome
Metropolis. This film has been compared to color infrared film due to
the distinct colors in its images. Known for swapping greens with
purples, LomoChrome Purple produces landscape images that do have a
similar look to color infrared films.
LomoChrome Purple is
meant to be cross-processed in C-41 chemistry and, when processed so,
the resulting film has an unnatural green base and extremely shifted
colors. As mentioned above, any green subject matter is rendered in
shades of purple to magenta, depending on the ISO the film is rated.
Beyond that initial color swapping, the rest of the image shows heavy
color casts. It makes this film both fun and fairly tricky to scan or
print.
Initially offered in only 120 and 35mm, LomoChrome
Purple has since made appearances in Super 8mm and 110 formats, as well
as Lomography's Simple Use Cameras. It was briefly discontinued in late
2016, but replaced with a new formulation, in 2017, that exhibited
better exposure at lower ISO ratings.
