For me part of the joy of film photography is not fully knowing what you have captured until you get back your developed film. So the excitement of not only seeing if you have an image but what colours have done what - is so cool!! You have to give this or any of the Lomography 'Experimental' films a go!

I got a roll of Lomo Purple as a gift and loved shooting it. The resulting colours add an almost sci-fi aesthetic and and are really striking. I shot it at ISO 200 which turned out well. As a creative film it's great but I think I'm not sure when I'd reach for it again necessarily. With such wacky colours it's definitely a case of buy the ticket take the ride.

I love creative film stocks and this is easily one of my all time favourites. Shooting it at different ISO (100-400) will produce variations in the vibrancy of colour so you have a lot of scope to get super creative. Surreal and magical and all round fantastic. Definitely recommend.

This film really is amazing, it’s exactly the vibe I’ve been looking for, with the added randomness of some colour changes! I hope they never stop producing this film 😂

Obviously this film is going to produce something a bit different, and that's the whole point really. It's always slightly unpredictable, so as long as you can accept that and know that you'll have some misses as well as some hits, it's good fun.

This is a fun film to use. I shot and developed it at box-speed, although it does seem more interesting when slightly under-exposed. Landscapes come out strange, as expected, with the shifted colours. The intensity of the colours can be a bit unpredictable.. but I have only shot one film so far, so I'm not used to how it works yet. I think it definitely has potential for more experiments!

The closest modern film to the coveted Kodak Aerochrome. Shoot greens and yellows for the most effect. Perfect for trippy landscapes.

I really love Lomo purple film, and think it is particularly well suited to larger formats. In my experiments, it seems to work best with clear areas of contrast - otherwise things can get muddy and flat. Greens turn a delightful range of purples and reds, with lighter colours tending towards yellow and burned white. In some ways it is reminiscent of the effects you get from cross processing, and is apparently inspired by the IR film aerochrome, which makes sense. For that reason, I use this judiciously, when I want something highly stylised - like for band/promo shots.

My 1st try with this film stock - shot at 200iso on a Yashica LM. Love the effects on greenery/grass. Overall pretty pleased at how they turned out and have now bought the 35mm to try more shots at different iso and different subjects.

I recently shot a roll of Lomochrome Purple and loved the results so much I've just ordered another roll. Exposed at ISO 250, shot in bright sunshine and using a polarising filter, it produced rich purples on tree leaves, pink on grass and changed blue skies to a vivid green. Reds stay red, so for a shot I took of a red phone box and post box against some bushes (shown below), the contrast of the reds and deep purples was amazing. Can't wait for my next roll to arrive.

this film is great if you want the purple vibe and wavy feel

Great film, fun and easy to use, with really nice-looking results, especially when the purple tones are quite subtle. Shot an expired roll of this which I was pleased with. Would recommend!

my favourite shots from my first roll were taken at ISO 400 on an overcast day - the results are so deep & rich!

Pretty dam fun film to use. Makes foliage purple and dose crazy things to animals.

One of my favourite films. I’ve shot this film many times with different lighting conditions and mainly on the Holga in medium format. I find the best results come with very bright sunlight. If it’s not sunny the colours become rather muddy. I often get quite orange colours too which I like. I’ve shot the film many times in 35mm too and prefer results at 200 iso. The film looks really good with double exposures too.

It's worth learning what results you get when shooting at correct exposure and over / under, either one will get you something original thanks to the ISO and film's latitude, I'd say. Definitely a fun film to use, definitely not for everybody - but if you're looking to freshen your style and aren't worried about colour accuracy, go for it!
