Tracey Whitefoot, one of Nottingham’s most renowned and successful local photographers, is launching a brand-new exhibition this spring at Nottingham Central Library.
Celebrating the beauty of our local area in landscape photos, the My Life in Light exhibition runs from Saturday 24 May – November 2025 and is free to the public.
There will be 65 images on display, captured over the last two decades and featuring scenes from around Nottinghamshire, including tranquil sunrises and sunsets, misty woodland scenes from Sherwood Forest and iconic city centre views. Local landmarks including Newstead Abbey, Wollaton Hall and Trent Bridge are all featured.
Two of Tracey’s most popular and beautiful photographs will be reproduced at almost 4 metres wide to allow visitors to marvel at them up close. One of them is her most well known image of Goose Fair and the other is Narnia, a magical winter scene captured in rural Nottinghamshire.
For the first time, Tracey also plans to use the exhibition space to share the stories of her images – how, where and why they were captured as well as the importance of light in capturing striking images.
Visitors can chat to her about her work during the exhibition launch on Saturday 24 May from 9am-4pm, as well as at other events currently being planned, which will be announced via her website whitefootphotography.com very soon.
Tracey Whitefoot lives and works in Nottingham. She has been a freelance professional photographer since 2006, and works for a broad range or clients on commissions around the UK. She spends her personal time travelling and capturing images around the world.
Tracey Whitefoot said: “I am really pleased to be launching this major exhibition in partnership with Nottingham Central Library and sharing my personal images from the last two decades. I have captured so many images of Nottinghamshire in that time, which made choosing the right ones for the exhibition an incredibly difficult decision, but all of the images featured mean a lot to me personally. I can’t wait to share the exhibition with people and for them to see Nottinghamshire through my work.”
The exhibition will be open and free to visit during normal library opening hours. Information for the library can be found here: https://www.nottinghamcitylibraries.co.uk/library/
