First portrait photo in Australia

in #travel6 years ago

Can I take your picture?

For my birthday, I stayed over in the Intercontinental Hotel in Sydney...
Check the hotel out: https://www.ihg.com/intercontinental/hotels/gb/en/sydney/sydha/hoteldetail
This is where I took my first portrait photograph, on top of the Intercontinental hotel. I see this as a huge win, because it has been my only portrait photo so far in Australia. It is quite a challenge approaching a stranger for a photoshoot. So here is the photo:

Is this inception?

If you are someone with attention to detail, you'd probably notice the background reflecting in my subject's glasses... Had to be creative, to get rid of my reflection and what better way to do it by playing with the mind. Please let me know your thoughts!

This is me... just turned 30 and happy!

Beautiful portrait 👍 and happy belated birthday! Enjoy your time in Australia!

Wow thank you so much @marthastardust! Which destination would you recommend next??

You're welcome 😊 I have never been to Australia, but I really would like to go. I don't know anything there or "close by".

Haha, no I meant, which other part of the world would you recommend? I started following you on Instagram, really like your travel photos!

Ah this you mean 😄 Chile and Argentina are really nice! I just found you on Insta again, but here on Steemit I sometimes write more detailed stories about my travels. I'm curious about your next trips and pictures 😊

Think I have told you before, but I have a friend in Chile and one in Bolivia... So South America is definitely on my list. I saw on one of your Insta stories when you were working on the MacBook, looks like you work with reporting? Saw some graphs

Ah right :) sorry, sometimes I forget who told me what... that's cool that you have friends there. I work/study in astrophysics ;)
