Semiotic
Semioticians classify signs or sign systems in relation to the way they are transmitted. This process of carrying meaning depends on the use of codes that may be the individual sounds or letters that humans use to form words, the body movements they make to show attitude or emotion, or even something as general as the clothes they wear.
Some say that images work via a second communicative system, one fully as expressive as natural language, but separate and structured independently of it. Others find visual and verbal meanings more dissimilar than similar, with the visual lacking a kind of determinacy for which verbal language seems better suited.
A recent example of this would be when Coca Cola changed their original recipe of their cola. The public did not embrace the new taste. Even though the new taste had proven to be successful in blind taste tests it caused change and it called attention to itself. Therefore, the general public strongly objected to this change because they could not associate this new "Coke" with the one they were used to.
Other example is using in advertising perfumes to signify the women and using her as an object that allows a women to control how she is perceived through how she smells. It has also increase the symbolism of women as elegant, boatful, and glamour’s.

Lomography
Lomography - History
In the early 1990s a couple of students discovered a small, enigmatic Russian camera, the Lomo Kompakt Automat, and created a new style of artistic experimental photography with their first unorthodox snapshot cavortings. The approach: taking as many photographs (Lomographs) as possible in the most impossible of situations possible and from the most unusual positions possible, and then having them developed as cheaply as possible. The result is a flood of authentic, colourful, crazy, off-the-wall, unfamiliar and often brilliant snapshots. These are mounted on panels to form a sea of thousands of Lomographs which regularly astonish viewers with their sheer colourfulness, diversity and power of expression. Ensuing major exhibitions in Moscow, New York, Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Havana, Zurich, Cologne, Madrid, Cairo, Tokyo and many other cities, where up to 100,000 Lomographs were shown at a time, established an international reputation for Lomography.
Lomography as a brand is definitely about film and analog photography, in particular, photos taken with lomo brand cameras.

I do lomography because it's refreshing to go back to the basics of photography. Just to capture a moment or subject and not have to worry about whether the focus, camera settings or the lighting is perfect. I just want to have fun and make a creative image.
Photography for many people is now just about camera specifications and camera features. They are too focused on having the best camera with the best lens and have forgotten what photography is really about. To save a memory and have fun while you do it!
preserving Lomo's concept:
10 lomo's golden rules
1.Take your camera everywhere you go.
2. Use it anytime, day and night.
3. Lomography does not interfere with your life, but is a part of it.
4. Try the shot from the hip.
5. Approach the objects of your "Lomographic desire" as close as possible.
6. Don't think.
7. Be fast.
8. You don't have to know beforehand what you captured (forget LCD).
9. Afterwards, either (forget LCD review).
10 Don't worry about any rules.

Slinkachu
Slinkachu has attracted a cult audience for his photographs of tiny, hand-painted figures in unlikely urban settings. The street artist’s tiny world exists for a brief moment before it is washed away, eaten by animals or trodden underfoot by the unsuspecting public. These tiny narratives are then photographed by the artist, providing evidence of their brief “lives”. Slinkachu’s recent book, Little People in the City (with an introduction by Will Self), has become a best seller.
Slinkachu leaving his usual urban setting for the first time and his photographs will show tiny day-trippers facing everyday dramas within the grounds of Belsay.
The “little people” project has seen dozens of the tiny characters left around the city in a variety of poses, with begging for coins twice their size, being senless by mini-muggers.
Slinkachu has inspired by graffiti artist Banksi and wants to hide his identity. Only admitting to being a 26 years old Londoner.
A lot of recent miniature-model-photography work that is similar to Slinkachu work done in the '80s and '90s, but Slinkachu had steps further and his work is really clever and fun.
Slinkachu work reminds me of the Italian artist Olivo Barbieri a photographer of urban environments .He is recognized for his innovative technique creating a miniature still photgrphy from actule landscape by simulating shallow depth of filed via the use of the til-shft lens photography.
