Agra, India

Front-facing vlogger selfie camera held at arm's length, face-lit and confessional, direct eye contact. The shot is filmed selfie-style on a phone mounted on a visible selfie stick held out in front, the extended stick and phone partly in frame. Golden morning. Standing on the reflecting-pool walkway with the white marble Taj Mahal glowing behind. A person in a colorful scarf beams at the camera and gestures back at the monument, moved. Reflecting water, mist, distant visitors. Warm golden light. Walking-and-talking energy, jump-cut rhythm, 24fps.
