Robert Irwin praises brother-in-law Chandler Powell for his unexpected photography skills

He’s a budding photographer who regularly showcases his expertise behind the lens to his followers on Instagram.

But on Monday, Robert Irwin moved his focus to brother-in-law Chandler Powell, after having his picture taken in bushland.

The 17-year-old revealed in a post the 24-year-old husband of his sister, Bindi, actually has a knack for portrait photography – and the results are surprisingly great.

‘Apparently Chandler Powell is a portrait photographer now!’ the Wildlife Warrior captioned the post.

In the picture Chandler took, Rob looked at ease as walked through bushland and stared off into the distance.

His facial features were strikingly similar to his late father Steve Irwin’s – a quality many of his fans immediately noticed and mentioned in the comments section.

‘U look so much like ur dad,’ one follower wrote, before another agreed: ‘I was just thinking the same thing x.’

‘Absolute double of your dad, had to look twice there!’ a third commented. 

The sweet acknowledgement comes after Rob photobombed Chandler and Bindi, while holiday in Tasmania.

Bindi uploaded a picture of teenager making a funny face while popping his head to the side and into the frame of her photo, as they toured the Apple Isle.

‘Robert, you always make photos that much better. Love ya!’ she captioned the post, alongside a laughing face emoji. 

Rob’s lips were pursed as he stared directly down the lens of the camera, while Bindi and Chandler smiled sweetly in the background.

The image of the trio in bushland was then shared by the cheeky teenager to his account, along with a series of other pictures of them holidaying with their 56-year-old mother, Terri.
