The series

Reality Bytes

Both Promenade images come from Reality Bytes, Dale's series of moments that feel real but never quite happened. Drawing on his years as a press photographer, he builds scenes that capture the emotion of everyday South African life rather than simply recording it. The series has been shown at Paris Photo and the Lumo International Photography Triennial in Finland.
