Belfast City

On May 7th, David was invited to photograph the city of Belfast and its features, both historically significant and modern. Selections from this shoot will be used to produce a collection of greting cards/ calendars and postcards for Belfast city.


Lying on the border of the counties of Antrim and Down in Ulster, Belfast is at the head of Belfast Lough on the north-eastern coast of Ireland. Belfast is the capital of and the largest city in Northern Ireland.

Historically, Belfast has been a centre for the Irish linen industry, tobacco production, rope-making and shipbuilding: the city’s main shipbuilders, Harland and Wolff, which built the ill-fated RMS Titanic, propelled Belfast on to the global stage in the early 20th century as the largest and most productive shipyard in the world. Belfast is also a major seaport, with commercial and industrial docks dominating the Belfast Lough shoreline, including the famous Harland and Wolff shipyard.
