Lobotomy Chic is the new hottest aesthetic coming back alive. This aesthetic started around the early 2000's. It was originally called "Indie Sleaze" and "Americana". It was also huge on TUMBLR around the 2010's. It gives off mysterious, eerie, and apathetic vibes. 

Best Photographer For This Aesthetic Inspiration (@stolenbesos) 

Alright, so you're probably thinking. How can I achieve this too? I mean literally no one is dropping the detailzzz. So here I am. FIRSTTTT you need any old camera. These old camera's give a look that can no longer be given by any updated camera. I suggest a camera that was made in 2001-2005. Over 2008, is somewhat pushing it but its okay. The MAIN camera's that this aesthetic needs is ANY  Canon Powershot OR Sony Cyber shot. These are the two main camera's who can give this look. Do not tell people I told that... I might end up dead or something. Im really giving it all here. Anyways, yes you need either or of those two camera's. You can buy these camera's from AMAZON or EBAY. Those are you best bets right now to find them. You can also look on Facebook Marketplace. 

Alright so now let's talk scenery. Now for a scenery you have many options. However, for this look though here's what I suggest: 

Forest

Street

Neighborhood

Mansion (MANOR)

Walking Trail

Cemetery

Bedroom

Okay okay so now you getting somewhere. You got your camera and you got your location. Now let's talking about props. This aesthetic you might think there's no props heavily used but yes. yes it is. Here's what I suggest bringing for the props:

Ribbons

Ice Cream

Computer (IMAC)

Headphones (Retro)

Vintage Furniture (we are talking vintage phones, fans, furnitures) literally like your grandmother's furniture

Iphone

Sand if you're on the beach

Teddy Bears

Crosses

Dolls

OK OK  you got it. So you got your old cams, your scenery, and your props. Now for poses, model aesthetics, you can check the photo's below! In the chatlog ask me more questions you'd like to know about this aesthetic or just say hey :D
