We had a quick tour around the factory to get an idea of lighting and where might be good to shoot the polo shirts. The Cromford polo shirt was inspired by a vintage Smedley polo shirt with a relaxed body and long-point collar. Using the factory as a backdrop, we shot in the dying room, washroom as courtyards.
