Sebastien Malone, 2014

This image is part of a portrait series I have been photographing in clubs around Sydney and Melbourne. I would candidly take the portrait of the sitter and then make contact. These were taken completely spontaneously, capturing honest reactions, at first glance. You don’t know me, I don’t know you, but this is where we both are.
