Archive Fabrics, GP&J Baker

I have been fortunate to work with some fantastic designers and suppliers; but the opportunity to work with one of the industry’s most respected legacy brands, GP&J Baker, has been a real highlight. The brief for the shoot was to capture their “House Small Prints II” collection, a collaboration with Sean Symington. The focus of the shoot was the fabrics and patterns from the series which had been used to decorate the master bedroom in Sean’s Georgian home. I needed to honour the brand’s heritage whilst showcasing Sean’s fresh perspective in this collaboration.
