A Photographic Exhibition, showcasing the talents of young disabled people in Northern Ireland is on show at the Belfast Waterfront Hall until 19 October.
Danielle Lyons with Hugh Russell, Photographic Editor of The Irish News
Local Charity, The Cedar Foundation, ran a 7 week photographic course earlier this year, giving young people, aged from 13 – 19 years, the chance to learn photographic skills.
The course was fun and informative and a special field trip was organised at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum for the young people to try out their new skills.
Gillian Presho, Youth Officer with The Cedar Foundation added:
"It’s great to see the next generation of budding photographers learning so many skills, enabling this wonderful exhibition to take place. I hope that the exhibition will be able to run in other venues so that their work can be on show to as many people as possible. Well done to all of them!"
Laura Stevenson, one of the young photographers at the launch of the event
The results of which was that their photographic talents are being recognised at a month long exhibition held in one of Belfast’s landmark buildings. The Belfast Waterfront Hall is hosting the Youth Matters photographic exhibition were the 7 young people’s photos are on display to the public.
