Amateur photographers from across Northern Ireland attended the opening night of the Translink ‘Connections’ photography exhibition, which was unveiled on Thursday evening at CastleCourt shopping centre Belfast.

The Translink ‘Connections’ photography exhibition entitled Life Better.Connected celebrates how public transport connects people, communities and landscapes.

The short list included a total of 26 images from 17 extremely talented people for the public display. Joseph Lennon was the talented winner from Newry.

Translink services and staff bring people and communities together every day and the exhibition showcases the faces and stories of connections made between family and friends, people commuting to work and services, events, or key life moments through thought provoking images and captions.

The judging panel comprised of industry experts from the photography and arts world: Valerie Catterson from Arts and Business NI, Vicki Dunn from Translink and Collette O’Neill, Northern Ireland Photographer of the Year 2024.

The ‘Connections’ exhibition will be open for public viewing in CastleCourt shopping centre on Royal Avenue until 14 March when the exhibition will then make its way across Translink bus and train stations including Lanyon Place, Belfast and the Northwest Transport Hub in Derry~Londonderry.
