Big Lab is based in Amsterdam and works internationally.

We build fashion imagery for brands that want to move faster — more drops, more variation, more testing — without compromise.

AI gives us a different kind of creative freedom. Ideas are no longer shaped by the limits of a physical production — location, casting, logistics or scale. We can start with the image we want to make and build from there.

The technology opens up the possibilities. Direction is what makes them matter.

FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Alina de Groot

Alina founded Big Lab in 2024. Before that, she worked for fifteen years as a fashion photographer under the name Lina L’man.

Her editorial and commercial work has appeared in Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Grazia, Tatler, Vogue China, Fucking Young! and Vanity Teen, with exhibitions at West Bund Art Centre and Photofairs Shanghai.

She also has a Masters in Psychology from Saint Petersburg State University.

Image-making is about people - how you read them, direct them, and understand what makes an image feel convincing.

She started working with generative tools in 2024. What interested her wasn’t AI for its own sake, but what it made possible: making images without some of the usual limits of production.

The tools are different. The way she looks at an image isn’t.
