Research into cameras

... okay well i am finding this very difficult but here is what i have come up with so far!


LOMOGRAPHY-
(from lomography.com)
"The Lomographic movement started upon the discovery of the Lomo Kompakt Automat (aka the LC-A) in 1991. The compact-sized Russian camera became renowned for its unique effects such as light leaks, vignette shadowing, and rich, saturated colours. As its fan base grew overtime, the community expanded into a worldwide phenomenon, filling every space with a stream of Lomographs to build amazing Lomowalls. From then on, the community has not stopped coming up with all sorts of creative analogue ideas (and we have not stopped cooking up with fun and exciting Lomographic tools, as well!) that keep Lomographers busy tinkering with their special projects, exhibitions, and collaborations."

which could kinda look something like this:
 
HOLGA-
(wikipedia)

The Holga is a medium format 120 film toy camera, made in China, known for its low-fidelity aesthetic.
The Holga's low-cost construction and simple meniscus lens often yields pictures that display vignetting, blur, light leaks, and other distortions. The camera's limitations have brought it a cult following among some photographers, and Holga photos have won awards and competitions in art and news photography.

for something like this:


INSTAGRAM APP:
This is an app for apple products that edits the image after. i love this as i can gauge how the images turn out but does this deter from the meaning of replicating old photos? that is my only issue. It is a bit hard with the minimal amount of time i have to complete this project so this may be a easier and cheaper option.

there are different options in how to edit the photo. this is what the application looks like:
