Autumn Plein Air in Simeiz — Art & Inspiration by the Sea
In the scenic coastal town of Simeiz, an unforgettable creative retreat took place — a plein air hosted at the charming Liga Morskaya hotel.Over 20 talented artists from around the world gathered to paint landscapes, still lifes, and portraits under the gentle autumn light.
I had the joy of capturing these inspiring days — the atmosphere of creation, shared passion, and quiet concentration behind every canvas.Each frame tells the story of friendship, color, and artistic energy that filled the air.
Documented with love and care — a glimpse into a world where art, people, and nature merge into one creative flow.
I’ve known Natalia for ages — she’s that rare kind of photographer who somehow manages to catch you painting, laughing, drinking coffee, and looking like a genius, all at the same time.
She took so many amazing photos during our plein air in Simeiz that we’re still using them everywhere — Instagram, Facebook, even profile pictures from 2020 are still her shots!
Honestly, Natalia has this magical talent: she doesn’t just photograph artists — she makes us look like we actually know what we’re doing.
