The two sentences are very similiar; they express a very slightly different feeling. To use "with" in this case implies a little more distance, to me - as though maybe you've only met this person in an interview, or similar circumstance. To use "by" is to suggest that you have seen this person a little more, and have perhaps seen actual performance. The interpretations are very subtle, and you can probably get away with using them interchangably, but as a native English speaker with a good command of the language, that's my take on the shades of meaning.

Either is correct, but the latter might be considered to be a book title.."I Was Impresses" by Himeji Castle.

Improper diction
"I was impressed with", is the better
