CHALLENGE
The primary challenge was ensuring the website design stayed simple yet impactful, with features that let the photography shine. It was essential to keep visuals and effects minimal and aligned with the nature-centric theme, without creating distractions from the photographer’s work. Additionally, we needed to incorporate interactive elements that kept the user engaged, particularly through the transitions and layout in sections like the portfolio.
RESULTS
The final design included a minimalist, intuitive layout that highlights the images with ample negative space and clean transitions. The homepage features a slideshow of selected work, overlaid with glass elements detailing each subject. The design flows naturally, shifting from a deep-sea green to match the marine theme, leading viewers through an “About Me” section and a unique “Portfolio” display with horizontal scrolling. The footer features a ‘Contact’ form, encouraging connections without detracting from the visual experience. The site effectively balances interactivity and simplicity, providing a portfolio that truly reflects the photographer’s craft.
