Have you ever been at a photographic exhibition and seen a shot you admire and really wanted to just grab it from the wall and take it home. Well, if you are in Belfast then this is the show for you.

Photographic artist, John Baucher (aka Moochin Photoman on Flickr), is displaying more than 1,000 portraits that he has taken around Belfast.

He said:

"The pictures are of musicians, street drinkers, young 'hood's', poets, tourists, visitors, politicians and residents. It's a diverse bunch all taken using Through the Viewfinder' technique or TtV."

This technique is where you shoot .

The prints on showJohn added:

"It is the biggest ever show of the technique to be held anywhere in the world. All the photographs are mounted so that they can be taken down on the closing night, a TtV Takeaway.

"This is in the spirit of the photo sharing website Flickr. I found out about the technique there and so wanted to share the photos so people I photographed can come and take their portrait away, but also other photos, so the whole exhibition will disassemble itself."

Other TtVer's are involved as shots from Australia, India, Canada and the USA will be on show. Added to that John is running a masterclass on the technique as well.

The exhibition is part of the Trans festival and can be seen at the Waterfront Gallery 2, Belfast, from 5 July to 24 July. .
