These are some images of Belfast that I’ve taken while wandering the streets shooting stock. Some will have been submitted to an agency but many will not. I hope they convey a feel for the city.
All cities are in a constant state of change and Belfast is currently in the middle of a hotel boom. The city has been named as the top place to visit in 2018 and one of the safest in the UK.
I’m often in Belfast so I’ll regularly add images.
