Lo-fi photography

Lo-fi photography ("lo-fi" meaning low-fidelity, referring to "any process which fails to achieve the accuracy and 'transparency'") refers to unconventional photographic practices, chosen for aesthetics, which give an impression of low quality.

It can be considered a reaction to the perceived ease of creating technically perfect photos in the digital age.

Lo-fi photography does not seek perfection; instead it revels in the unpredictable nature of the world and of the camera.

For instance, light leaks, vignetting, and incorrect exposure can be sought-after if it helps the photographer achieve their desired effect.
