Victoria Square will be front and centre of the camera lens from January 2023, as it plays host to Belfast Exposed who will take photography within the centre to a whole new level. With new phones and cameras being in demand from Santa Claus this Christmas, the team at Belfast Exposed are joining forces with Victoria Square to bring photography workshops to the popular Belfast retail and entertainment venue.
Belfast Exposed will deliver a series of workshops in the shopping complex over 4 weeks commencing 14/15 January 2023 to help new, novice and keen photographers, and phone owners learn some new and exciting tricks for taking better photography and capturing life through a different lens to secure that perfect image. All particpants who take images will have the chance to have their image featured in an exhibition to be hosted in Victoria Square during March – April 2023.
Launching the workshops and forthcoming Exhibition, Michelle Greeves, Centre Manager at Victoria Square, said:
“Victoria Square is captured by people every single day, and with so many of us wanting the perfect image in the ideal location, we already offer both. The centre is also such an important place for friends and families to meet and spend time together. The idea of these workshops is based on the fact we know for 15 years now, our customers have continued to love spending time in Victoria Square, capturing and making memories. We are thrilled to be partnering with Belfast Exposed to host workshops in January and February. A follow up photographic exhibition in March and April will feature images from these workshops alongside the work of other photographers, highlighting the positive benefits of photography for health and wellbeing, and the benefits of places and spaces for people to come enjoy time together and relax.”
Commenting on the Photography workshops and Exhibition, Deirdre Robb, CEO of Belfast Exposed said;
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Victoria Square, to bring a series of workshops, and a photographic Exhibition ‘Seeing through a different lens’ to help raise awareness of the benefits of photography. In April 2023 we will host our first ever International Photographic Conference in Belfast, highlighting the role of photography on mental health and wellbeing, so these workshops and the forthcoming exhibition which will be created from images taken in Victoria Square, among others will be so important. Alongside, this is such a prestigious Belfast landmark celebrating 15 years since opening in 2008, so the opportunity to do something positive together is perfectly timed.”
The ‘Seeing through a different lens’ workshops which last 2 hours, will be hosted by staff from Belfast Exposed, and held on Level 2 in Victoria Square. Participants will be provided with an opportunity to learn how to get the best from their android, smartphone, camera, and polaroid. Cameras will be available too. All workshops, accommodating 20 particpants, can be registered via Belfast Exposed Eventbrite, ‘Seeing Through A Different Lens’ – Photography Workshops Tickets, Sat 14 Jan 2023 at 12:00 | Eventbrite. As well as taking images, participants will be able to develop images on site and learn skills using different print styles and techniques, including using a selfie printer and polaroid printer available within workshops.
