Created during a trip to Ilhabela for my Photography degree, this project explores the beauty of everyday scenes through composition, colors, textures, and simple moments that often go unnoticed.
A minimalist summer fashion campaign poster for VÉRANO, blending Mediterranean architecture, elegant mannequin styling, and editorial composition. The design combines warm neutral tones, natural lighting, and refined typography to create a contemporary luxury fashion aesthetic, highlighting the brand’s summer collection through a clean and sophisticated visual direction.
For Sienna Rhodes, I designed the homepage around one idea: the portfolio should come first.
Photography clients usually want to know one thing before they read about your process, your packages, or even who you are: Do I connect with your work?
So instead of opening with a traditional introduction, the homepage leads directly into the portfolio and lets the imagery make the first impression. The supporting copy and details come later, once the work has already created that initial connection.
I’m curious where other designers and photographers land on this. Do you prefer a portfolio-first homepage, or do you think the photographer’s story should come first?
Portfolio first, every time for photography. Nobody hires off a process paragraph, they hire because one image stopped them scrolling. The story matters, but it lands harder after the work has already made the case. That start here slider does the pitch by itself.
