Just recently I found yet another photographer who inspires me. So I thought I'd start an open thread. Who inspires you? Who makes you want to pick up your camera? Or makes you want to fire up your post-processing software to try a new or different style? Or who is it that just inspires you to spend an hour or two looking at and savouring their work? Who inspires you enough to make you want to share them with others?
My first example is a street photographer, as that's my preferred style, though I'll shoot anything that moves. Or doesn't. But I welcome seeing inspirational photographers' work in any genre, and I think other people would, so how about joining in?
Name: Paola Franqui, also known as Monaris
Style: Street photography

Paola's photos are of the kind of street photography subjects that I often tend to miss seeing, mostly because of my own biases as to what makes a good subject. Her cinematic processing is a bonus and, I think, is fairly easily reproducible. Her website gives a lot of static examples of her work, but in the interview video she brings them alive by telling us who she is and what drives her. And, as a bonus, she gives a step-by-step guide in the other video showing how she gets her particular cinematic style.
