A ground-breaking photography project will include Belfast for the first time this year.
The 24hour Project will see participants across the world taking one photo an hour over 24 hours on Saturday, July 24, and sharing the photos on their social media profiles.
The project was set up by Renzo Grande - a photographer from Peru now living in New York.
Irish News photographer Mal McCann, Belfast ambassador for the project, will be among those taking part.
"It's to bring photographers together to raise awareness of different charities," he said.
This year's project is supporting the Responsible Charity, a group based in Kolkata in India which helps give underprivileged children access to better education.
Mr McCann said he was looking forward to seeing what photos people take across Belfast.
"It's been done in Dublin and Cork a few times but this is the first time it's been done in Belfast," he said.
"It's for every level of photographer, from someone with a smartphone to a DSLR to analogue.
"It's a chance for people to document their city over a day."
Mr McCann said photos can include everything from pictures of participants' back gardens, families and pets, to street photography.
He urged as many people as possible to take part.
As a global project, the photos will show different countries' experience of the coronavirus pandemic.
"This year, some countries are still in lockdown," Mr McCann said.
"Some people will be documenting their time at home; others will be sharing photos of their cities.
"I think it's a fantastic idea."
Two other ambassadors will be covering Ireland - Brendan O'Se in Cork, and Tim Bingham in Dublin.
Mr Bingham will take photos in Dublin for half the day and will then travel to Belfast to join Mr McCann.
