Belfast Exposed Photography

What an amazing group of people. We have just come back from a 2 day conference at the mac hosted by Belfast exposed. An amazing, well organised experience, it comes highly recommended. Such a friendly, knowledgeable group of people providing an amazing service to locals. The art work in the galleries at Belfast exposed comes from some very talented artists. Thank you so much for an amazing experience Belfast exposed, we cannot wait to attend the next event in 2027. X

Great night at Joe McNally. Would have been great to have been able to get his book but it seems Joe brought them over from the US and could only bring 10 due their weight. Could more not have been ordered from Amazon and sold at the night and returned if not sold? Toilets upstairs are limited for an event like this so huge queues. Very friendly staff and so great that this opportunity was offered. He could have filled another venue easily though.

Lovely little gallery. Super friendly staff. Free to view. Definitely glad I popped in. The Jo Spence exhibition was really interesting.

Photo gallery with regular exhibitions in Cathedral area. Would be great to have it open on Sundays. Recent show is amazing, Rwanda downstairs, Jewish history upstairs. Keep it up!

Belfast exposed are a well organised group of people who add so much to my life the last few years and a true reflection on everyone's perception through the eyes of a camera.

Very interesting, and free

It's a small gallery with a shop in a corner. The photos were great, but the best was the man who welcomed me there. He was very kind and also explained many things about the place and the photos, and made a little conversation about the city. Just one of those people you never forget from your travels. If you read this, thank you!!

I’ve been doing a wellbeing photography course with Belfast Exposed for nearly 3 years, it was my first outing after spending 2 years In lockdown isolating alone due to health issues. Even when lockdown was over I was afraid to go out, but I was persuaded by Sam Cunningham, ageNI and my family to attend. I was so nervous but it was the best thing to happen to me, I was depressed and scared. I didn’t know anyone that was going to be there, I met Mervyn and immediately relaxed and thought I’m going to try this. I met other group members as strangers but today I call them friends. We went to different open air venues, most of them I’d never been before, all beautiful !! We walked and talked and took photos with the cameras that they provided us with, it awakened my love of photography from years ago. The most amazing thing was the way Mervyn would always seem to notice if one of the group really needed to talk, sometimes I’d be lost in my own thoughts, very often not good one, next thing I’d realise Mervyn was beside me and it seemed without him asking any questions I would have spilled out all my worries to him as we continued to walk and him giving me advice on camera settings. I really looked forward to every group outing, it made my heart feel light. Then Sam came on board, she is also amazing, I just feel like I can tell them anything and speaking to other group members they all feel the same. They have lifted me up from the depths of despair to enjoying being out and about again. I was on antidepressants for years and I’m now eventually of the medication and I believe it’s all down to Mervyn and Sam, I just can’t express how much the photography group means to me I’ve also been to amazing exhibitions and an overnight workshop event with Belfast Exposed and looking forward to seeing more of the exhibitions in their gallery

Belfast Exposed Photography now functions as a gallery for contemporary photography with emphasis on commissioning and publication of new work. Its good place for art and photography lovers
