Cusco, Peru

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. Misty morning. Standing on a green terrace high above the ancient stone ruins of Machu Picchu with cloud-wrapped peaks behind. A person in a hiking jacket catches their breath, talks to the camera, then turns to reveal the ruins, amazed. Drifting mist, a llama, mountain air. Cool soft light. Walking-and-talking energy, jump-cut rhythm, 24fps.
