"I've done food photography for a large part of my career. I’ve found that street photography really balances it out for me. Food photography is neat, orderly, detailed oriented.  The street is chaotic, spontaneous and messy.  This is what initially drew me to street photography."

We sat down with Quentin to chat about his creative process, what inspires him, and how he has improved his workflow for more efficiency.

Here are our top 8 favorite female photographers that we love and why we love them. 

My creative process starts outside of the lab. As with any “perfect” photo, it requires precision with timing, temperature and location. Typically, I have predetermined concepts in my head and I scout locations that best fit my vision.
