Journey through time and place with Belfast Photo Festival
of the personal and lesser-known family portraits for an intimate window into the people behind the public figureheads.
This exhibition explores how photography has been used to create an image of duty and stability throughout the centuries, and how advances in technology and media have allowed the Royal Family to connect at a more personal level with a wider global audience. The choice of photographer, photo composition, clothing, and environment throughout the photo series also provides insightful cultural commentary on the social climate at the time each photo was taken.
