The Trampery at Poplar Works is a workspace, training centre and a hub for anyone working in fashion: designers, makers, jewellers, experienced business owners, and first-year startups. The space has over forty studios across two sites, as well as training areas, a small production unit and a café.
The Trampery at Poplar Works runs an extensive enterprise and events programme and is home to London College of Fashion, UAL’s award-winning Making for Change programme. Poplar Works is a partnership between Poplar HARCA, London College of Fashion, UAL and The Trampery, supported by the Mayor of London and part of the Fashion District.
The Trampery approached me to photograph Poplar Works and their tenants and members with the aim to include the images on The Trampery’s website, social media, newsletter and also the press releases from all the Poplar Works partners, which would promote the space, the members and their businesses.
The brief was divided into two sections:
Images of the exteriors and of the interiors of the building showing the studios, common areas and café to promote the space.
Portraits of the members: photograph Poplar Works members individually on the outside of the building and also take images of them working in their studios.
The images were used in all The Trampery communications and they were also printed onto posters which were displayed outside the building to showcase some of the exciting things members are doing and help demystify what happens behind closed doors.
