This desktop-first site showcases my favorite photos and the tools I use to make them.
Project duration: 1 week
Problem
Photographers often spread their work across social feeds, folders, and unfinished websites. Viewers rarely get a clear sense of style, process, or how to get in touch.
As a result, strong work gets overlooked and potential clients hesitate to reach out.
Target Audience
Persona 1: The photographer
Photographers with a growing craft need a focused place to show their best work, share process details, and connect with opportunities. Crowded social platforms make that hard.
A dedicated portfolio helps them present a clear point of view and make contact easier for clients and collaborators.
Persona 2: The potential client
Magazine editors work under tight deadlines and cannot spend hours searching uneven social profiles or awkward personal sites.
They need a faster way to review a photographer’s work and decide whether to start a conversation.
Photographers need a clearer way to be found. Clients need a faster way to evaluate work. One focused portfolio can serve both.
Ideation Process
How do I showcase photos and tools quickly? Should the site include comments, or keep the focus on a contact path?
Sitemap with simple section-based navigation.
Foundation
Homepage wireframe and mockup side by side.Four colors chosen to stay quiet around the photos: soft greens, mint for active states, and dark contrast for structure.A direct welcome message replaces a traditional logo for a more personal first impression.
This was my first one-page site, with privacy as the only separate page. Using my own photos made the project feel personal and kept the design focused on the work itself.
Anchor-based navigation was a new challenge. Solving it reinforced how clear structure helps a single page stay easy to explore without distractions.
