This is was a last lomotherapy session in Moscow before ending of my science thesis in university. My psychotherapy method based on the new kind of art - lomography and use rules of lomography as method of social therapy.

Lomotherapy strategy is chosen by the psychologist according to the psy-test results. Dependent on needs and interests of participants the place for photo-walks is chosen. The participants gather to choose the route of the first session and listen to the lecture on lomography. Lomography rules are positioned by the psychologist as starting points on the way to self-discovery of participants. Each participant receives photographic film and camera. Psychologist and technical adviser tell how to use cameras and the rules of lomography. The participants create a lomowall from selected photos together in dependence on group structure and personality factors.

In this session I was working with people with disabilities. It was charitable project which helped to realize fund for the disabled "Best Buddies". Big thanks to Alexandra Shpotova and Denis Rosa who provided technical part of the project.
After photo-walk we created the lomowall from analogue pictures of guys, and you can see our result on
