Project Story
Modern website development for Aperture Studio, a creative photography agency specializing in commercial and editorial shoots. I designed a visually striking portfolio website with immersive galleries, smooth transitions, and a focus on letting the imagery speak. The site features lazy-loaded high-resolution images, intuitive navigation, and a booking system for client inquiries.

The Journey
Aperture Studio needed a website that could showcase their diverse photography portfolio without overwhelming visitors. As a creative agency handling everything from commercial project shots to editorial fashion spreads, they wanted a platform that adapted to different project types while maintaining a cohesive brand feel.
Design & Development Process
I built this photography portfolio using Next.js with optimized image handling for fast load times despite high-resolution assets. The design prioritizes negative space and lets each image command attention. Custom gallery components support various aspect ratios, and the subtle animations add polish without distracting from the work itself.
Results & Impact
The final site serves as both a portfolio and a client conversion tool. Visitors can easily browse by category, view full-resolution work, and submit project inquiries. The streamlined experience has improved client engagement and positioned Aperture as a premium creative partner.
