Client's brief

Our brief was to design a site that would work like Tim's portfolio book, focusing on the photography and nothing else. It was important that Tim could define the photographic journey people take on his website when they view each portfolio.

Here's what we did

This was one of those rare opportunities, being commissioned by a high profile photographer to design and build their online portfolio.

After much consideration and discussion with the client we opted for the most simplistic design option, removing all clutter and distractions from the website, allowing the photography to be the main focus of the site.

The site was built using flash to enable clean transitions and motion, presenting each portfolio with a smooth and easy to use navigation system.

The site can be easily updated via a content management system plugged into the flash frontend, that allows images and portfolios to be added and removed quickly and simply.

The homepage allows the client to choose a number of photos to display at random, enticing the visitor further into the site.

Our results

It's a beautiful site that is a pleasure to visit again and again. If you ever want a calm and relaxing half hour in front of a computer to forget everything around, you should visit Tim's website and absorb it.
