01
Galleries and project structure
Select your strongest projects, the categories they belong to and the sequence a prospective client should see. Agree which project details deserve their own pages.
Selected work, specific requirements
Portfolio websites for photographers
Give prospective clients a considered selection of your work and a clear way to discuss a commission. We design and develop photography portfolios around your projects, the people choosing you and the way you want to maintain the site.
Organise the portfolio around the next commission
A wedding client, an art director and a product brand will look for different evidence. Start with the audiences you want to reach and the projects that show the relevant work. Separate categories where they help a visitor choose, rather than presenting every image in one long feed.
Project pages can carry the brief, your contribution and a short sequence of photographs. The copy should provide context without competing with the work. Agree how credits, client permissions and image captions will be handled.
A photography and videography portfolio for Jugal Shah
Our Jugal Shah project brings galleries and individual work into a photography and videography portfolio. The documented scope includes gallery layouts, a custom image viewer and responsive development. The case study shows the work behind those choices.
This is evidence of a delivered portfolio, not a promise of a particular enquiry volume. For your project, we would decide which gallery and viewing behaviour helps your own audience assess the work.
What to define in your photography website brief
02
Image presentation
Plan aspect ratios, captions, mobile crops and loading behaviour. Keep high-quality source images for production while serving appropriately sized website images.
03
Enquiries and editing
Decide what a commission enquiry needs to include and how new work will be added. CMS editing, training and maintenance should be explicit parts of the proposal.
Review the photographs on the devices clients use
Large galleries need deliberate image sizing and loading. Test the first view, gallery transitions and image viewer on a small screen as well as a desktop; visual quality and loading behaviour need to be considered together.
A portfolio also needs usable navigation, readable project information, keyboard access and a contact route that works after browsing. We include the agreed visitor journeys in the review rather than evaluating only a homepage screenshot.
Bring a selection, not an unfiltered archive
Prepare a shortlist of projects, image permissions, credits, a brief introduction and the type of enquiries you want. Identify who can approve the selection and who will update it after launch.
Private client galleries, proofing, download permissions, booking and payments are separate functional requirements. Tell us if you need them; they are not implied by a public portfolio. A focused site can link to a suitable existing tool when that fits the workflow.
Questions about the project
Yes, if the categories and project pages make each kind of work easy to find. Hosting and playback choices for video need their own scope and testing.
We can discuss editing requirements and a suitable CMS. The number and structure of editable layouts, training and handover should be agreed in the proposal.
The website can be a stable home for selected work, project context and enquiries while social profiles help people discover you. We can link the two without making the portfolio depend on a social feed.
