6. Laura El-Tantawy @laura_el_tantawy
Good abstract photography is something that’s hard to find online, but Laura El-Tantawy is a natural at it. This British-Egyptian freelancer knows how to take stunning images of landscapes, patterns and close-ups of her subjects’ faces that are often accompanied by a riveting caption. Her work is great for people who are interested in something a little different.
