Everything I shoot is Lofi orientated, cheap or alternative doesn't dictate a poor image.

Just imagine, the subject of best ever produced 'Low-Fi' photograph. What would it be? A black and white shot of a cloud of dust in a plume of smoke, back-lit by a flickering out of focus gas street lamp in an alleyway, captured one foggy overcast evening. Think about it, it's intentional, it's obscure, it can't be lowered unless you turn off the gas. So what's the point? Answer... There is none other than you can do your best at producing your worst, oh yes, you just made the back pages of Amateur Photographer. Well done.

I completely agree. I can produce poor pictures with a £1,000 camera or make good ones into bad.
But. One benefit of the low-fi approach is the continuing availabity of film stock and the continuation of film processing. This is of particular benefit to classic camera owners and collectors.

I really cant see the point - if you're absolutely determined to produce naff looking images, do it in post. At least you then have a choice.
