Rainy Russian Street Photography Looks Like Oil Paintings

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.
