John Dalton, A Proposal Set In Natural Wonder (PORTRAIT 2022)

Photography can offer unexpected surprises. I had hiked for two days to reach and photograph Lake Tahune at the foot of Frenchman’s Cap in a remote part of Tasmania. In rapidly fading afternoon light, I found a couple by the lake who had just summited the peak and were now in the process of becoming engaged. They chose a location of remote beauty for their special moment, and this series of images attempts to honour both their joy and the backdrop of majestic natural features.
