Lotherton Hall in Leeds is an Edwardian country house, and a museum for historical items. I was approached by the curator team to photograph their dress collection for an exhibition called 'What shall I Wear?'. We opted for a dramatic black background to really highlight the garments.

​

These dresses are extremely delicate and I worked closely with curator Natalie Raw who mounted the dresses in preparation for photography. The exhibition featured garments from famous designers such as Normal Hartnell and Victor Stiebel. 

​

360 Degree Photography was an important aspect of this project. I had not undertaken this photography for objects so large, but with some creative solutions we were able to produce good looking 360 degree spins of the dresses.
