Up The Lagan in a Bubble is a self-published photobook by Belfast-based photographer Daniel Graham, whose long-standing obsession with the city’s streets has driven the creation of this body of work. For years, Graham has wandered through Belfast with his camera, searching for those fleeting moments of humour, humanity, and strangeness that unfold in the ordinary rhythm of daily life. His photographs distil the energy of the city, its wit, its tensions, its resilience and the quiet poetry that often goes unnoticed.
Encompassing five years of work, the book gathers a collection of images that form a fresh, contemporary view of Belfast and the people who shape it. Shot exclusively in candid situations, the photographs reveal unguarded slices of life, with moments of sadness, flashes of absurdity, gestures of connection, and scenes that border on the surreal. The resulting narrative is not a linear story but a mosaic, one that captures the spirit of a place constantly balancing between its past and its evolving
present.
Up The Lagan in a Bubble is both a love letter to Belfast and an exploration of how a city reveals itself when no one thinks they are being watched. Through Graham’s lens, the familiar becomes unexpected, and the everyday becomes extraordinary.
