Candela: Photography & Cinematography Masters

A Puerto Rican-born photographer now living in New Jersey, Paola Franqui has, under her handle @monaris_, become known for her cinematic street photography, often shot in New York City and evoking the feeling of a bygone era. We talk to her about finding movie moments among the everyday, how she was influenced by photography greats Vivian Maier and Saul Leiter, and doing client work on something as simple as an iPhone.
