Though A Woman's Lens: Lomography book/camera combo!

The lush, haunting style of photography known as lomography has been mesmerizing cameraheads for decades. The effect is achieved through modifications in the camera's design, creating an alternate reality of skewed color and form.

The Parisian boutique Colette and Lomography.com have teamed up to produce an awesome lomography package, consisting of a beautiful book and an amazing camera: the Diana F+ Colette Edition.

The latter is the Colette Diana F+ camera, specially designed to produce glints in the eye, spring in the step, and funkiness in the photo. "Covered by Colette’s trademark blue spots, it hosts all features of the renowned Lomography Diana F+. Dating back to the early 1960s, the all-plastic Diana camera is a cult legend - famous for its dreamy, radiant, and lo-fi images."

The book, entitled "Dianalogues Part 1: Through a Woman's Lens", examines point of view and gender from 10 different female perspectives. (Including Claw Money!) The talented contributors, who were selectively chosen from women around the world, create a back-and-forth conversation between word and image.

The package is available exclusively on colette.fr and lomography.com. Check it out!
