Some shoots just click, and this was one of them. When Lidia Robak asked me to photograph one of her designs, I knew it would be something special. We picked a castle in the Cotswolds as our location, and it turned out to be the perfect match: old stone walls, open landscapes, and soft natural light that made everything look incredible.
What makes Lidia’s work stand out is her commitment to sustainability. She gives pre-loved clothes a second life, turning them into unique, beautifully crafted pieces. The dress we shot was a great example: it started as something completely different, but with Lidia’s vision and skill, it became something fresh and stunning. It’s amazing to see how she transforms fabrics that might have been forgotten into something that beautiful.
Lidia’s passion for what she does is obvious in every piece she creates, and it was a pleasure to capture it in photos. If you’re into sustainable fashion and thoughtful design, definitely check out her work — you won’t be disappointed.
