About Liudmila Drake

I remember when I was about 7 years old and got my little money from mom then I went to Press Agency to buy beautiful stamp. At first I did not read what name was on stamps, it was not important I wanted the most beautiful, so simple it was then. Only later I have discovered that it was in my collection much of the fine impressionist Auguste Renoir. During school, we had fun holidays when I had a chance to see Ivan Aivazovsky in the Russian Museum in Sankt-Peterburg and to find out my second favorite. 2011 I have made my first picture with my own camera. I was fascinated and obsessed, wanted to know more to get better pictures and started studying Professional photography at The New York Institute of Photography. I photographed more landscapes, I longed for the sea and wanted to experience similar pleasures as at Aivazovsky's paintings. Then came also desire to see my pictures more in impressionistically.The search is still going on...
