Formerly a Mechanical Engineer, Ludmila Ketslakh's interest in photography was triggered by a number of factors: her desire to explore different parts of the world, to seek and document unique cultures, and to challenge the insidious forces of dilution and uniformity in society. She fervently believes that the world is a beautiful and mystifying place, and that the people of her world are profoundly diverse and fascinating, each with their own unique experiences that define their images. Observers of Ketslakh's photography are captivated by its reality and absorbed into the emotion captured by her lens.
