Independent concept study/Photography/Redesign Concept

Portrait & Editorial Studio

Photographers' sites often bury the work behind sliders and long about copy. This concept lets a single image carry the page.

Presentation mockup — used to illustrate the design direction.

Project overview

A concept study based on a pattern we see repeatedly in photography websites: heavy homepage sliders, thumbnails too small to judge quality, and pricing or availability hidden several clicks deep.

The challenge

Auto-rotating hero sliders move a photograph off screen before anyone has finished looking at it.

Grid thumbnails at 300px cannot demonstrate the thing the client is being asked to pay for.

Enquiry usually sits behind a generic contact page with no indication of session types or availability.

What we changed

One full-bleed image, one line of caption, and navigation reduced to five words.
Series pages rather than a single mixed gallery, so a prospective client can see consistency in a body of work.
Session types with an indicative starting price placed directly beneath the work.

Conversion focus

Enquiry form asks for date, location and session type — the three things needed to quote.
No slider, so the strongest image is the one people actually see.
