About My Photography Portfolio

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.

Client persona card

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?

Insights Gained

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.
