The exhibition opens on May 2nd for one month in what is the largest photographic gallery in the Midlands. Although the locations may be familiar, the images aim to present them in new and striking ways, in particular one single 14 metre long photograph of the city centre, the largest photograph of Leicester ever produced. The exhibition promotes the City of Leicester in new and interesting ways both to visitors and residents alike. As a professional commercial and architectural photographer, Keith Cooper combines his considerable technical expertise as well as his artistic skills, in creating this series of photographs that focus on Leicester locations Ð but present them in new and striking ways. The single 15 metre panoramic photograph of Leicester City Centre at dusk pushes the boundaries of what is technically possible in a single print and is the largest and most detailed photograph of Leicester ever produced. The image file alone spans 5 DVDs worth of storage space. Many of the prints are only possible through recent advances in camera and printing equipment. ÒThere is just so much of our city that people donÕt seeÓ commented Cooper, when asked what inspired the collection. ÒI want people who live here to appreciate a bit more of our cityÕs heritageÓ he adds, noting ÒitÕs where IÕve chosen to live Ð itÕs my homeÓ Keith Cooper is a noted writer on technical matters concerning photography, who also tests cameras, printers and photographic equipment for a number of major manufacturers. His Northlight Images web site is one of the top 30 photographic web sites in the world, receiving over 5 million visits in 2011.
