One's inspiration comes from the creativity of others. If you want to grow as a photographer, it is best to learn from teachers. Kappa and Rosenthal are great, but it never hurts to seek inspiration from current photographers. Today I bring you a list of 100 professional photographers, some very popular, others less, but all have a common denominator: they are great professionals in their photographic genre and their works are of an irrefutable quality. Most of the names included in this list have their own web page that you can consult carefully.
They are one hundred, they are not in any special order and they all have something to teach you.
