Rainy Russian Street Photography Looks Like Oil Paintings

371

ADVERTISEMENT

St. Petersburg-based Russian photographer Eduard Gordeev captures delicate cityscape scenes by taking photos in the rain. Flowing rain drops blur the colors and diffuse light, resulting in photos that have a strong resemblance to Impressionist oil paintings.

Though the series mostly features Russia’s St. Petersburg and its widely recognized landmarks, some captivating shots from Lisbon can be found there as well. Nothing gloomy about the rain here, just pure Russian romance!

    Excellent photoshopping. I noticed that the raindrop pattern in #7 and #10 are identical. Even if the lens or a UV filter or other glass plate was wet, moving it would cause the drops to displace. Nonetheless, they're quite artistic.

    Beautiful pictures, although not all of them are in Russia. The third and eighth pictures are in Lisbon, Portugal.

    I really enjoyed these beautiful Photos. So what if the raindrops were identical in two of the beautiful Photos. They are exquisite! My favorites are the two with the streetcar and the second last one!! I'd buy if I could! This is wonderful art in my opinion!
