Valérie Jardin is a wonderful photographer, she is probably best known on social media for her street photography, she teaches photo workshops all over the world, is an author, a speaker, a podcaster and a camera brand ambassador.

• Valérie picks this month inspirational photographer: André Kertész (1894 - 1985) was born in Hungary and is known as a groundbreaking contributor to photographic composition and the photo essay. He experimented with new camera angles and styles and that prevented his work from receiving recognition at that time. Today he is considered one of the pioneers of photojournalism.
