I was invited to take a look around another of Northamptons long established shoe factories, this time it was NPS Solovair based in the village of Wollaston just up the A45. The factory set all on one floor boasted some nice light coming through from the skylight roof windows and working my way around the different areas I was able to stop and chat as well as snap a few portraits. These images were also used by Noah NYC for an editorial feature they put out.
