I attended the 4-day photography course for beginners with Luciana back in 2008. While I was seeking just to learn how to make proper use of my DSLR, the course was so inspiring that it actually sparked a much stronger interest in photography in me. I continued with taking more courses and making more photographs and, as it happens, my first book of photographs, Journeys, has just being published. It contains four series of my photographs made in Jerusalem, Japan, Istanbul and Provence. The LSP’s role in my development as a photographer is gratefully − and deservedly − acknowledged in my bio both on the publisher’s website and the back cover. http://bykhovskaya.com/
