Welcome to Belfast, Street Photography. In this book containing 82 photographs, you will find interesting street photography and works of art, including graffiti and pictures of inhabitants of Belfast. I was impressed by the beauty and quality of urban art that I found on the streets of Belfast. This kind of art embellish the streets of Belfast and give a new quality of life to the inhabitants and to visitors alike.I have captured urban art in a way that I think improves the original visual image propositions, that is, framing art within more art, within my photographic imagination, so as to produce street photography artistic proposals. Also, a number of artists have been photographed, either while performing or being simply portraited.

There is always something interesting going on in the center of Belfast. Angels, sirens, lions, dogs, crocodiles and chimpanzees are not forgotten in these collection. This is why many of the depicted images include inhabitants of the city going about their daily business. I am of the opinion that urban art becomes more powerful when it is framed in an urban narrative that includes human beings. This is so because we, as humans, make connections to other human beings, we are curious about the looks and behaviour of other humans. Framing a work of art next to an interesting human narrative both improves the work of art and the human narrative depicted. Also, images have been digitally retouched so as to improve and to enhance colours and profiles, as many of the photographed objects have faded colours by now, or in order to create new visual effects, erasing colours and leaving only interesting colours in a way that reinterprets reality.

This is all about when trying to create art, to reinterpret reality and to present it under a new light. In this respect, this collection of photographs both reinterpret the aesthetic qualities of urban art, frames it in new photographic visual proposals and preserves it for the future generations as well in an artistic collection of photographs. As the volcano ashes of the volcano Vesuvius in Italy did to the graffiti of Pompei, these photographic images will fix the memory of the city of Belfast during the virus pandemic times of 2020.I hope that you will enjoy the contemplation of these images.
