Well of Inspiration
The Well of Inspiration is the place you keep going back to for renewal. On this Photo Topic, I invited fifteen photographers to share work that inspires them. Each presenter had just five minutes to share the 5 to 10 images they sent in.
THE PRESENTERS
Their names are links to their websites, followed by the work (photographic or otherwise) of over 80 individuals that they cited.
