Website Design

For the final design of my website I wanted to keep it simple, with the focus on the photographs themselves.

For my home page I took inspiration from Anja Niemi’s website and used a single photo as my background, so the focus is on the work straight away. I used bold headings to navigate to the sections of my work, so that they would be clear against the busy background.

I split my work into sections, keeping the headings and photos consistently placed throughout. I did not want the images to be too cropped down, so placed in a scrolling gallery so they could each be seen in more detail. I kept a fewer number of images in and added an extra page for 35mm work, so there would be less scrolling to get through each section. I kept the background black with simple white text to contrast with my images, and draw all attention to them.

I finally added in a contact page, keeping the design in line with the other pages. This included an about section, as well as a form section to email and contact me.
