Just shipped a portfolio site for a dancer, and the brief was simple: let the work speak.
Just shipped a portfolio site for a dancer, and the brief was simple: let the work speak. No long paragraphs, no filler — just video, photography, and atmosphere doing all the talking. Built entirely on Framer with a cinematic feel that matches the energy of his performances.
Every section was designed around media hierarchy, guiding visitors naturally through who he is, what he's done, and what it's like to work with him.

The media hierarchy approach is the right call for a performer's portfolio. Leading with performance shots and letting the work fill the page beats a text-heavy bio every time. Framer was a good choice for the cinematic pacing.
Thanks so much for that,really glad the hierarchy came through the way it was intended. With performers, the work has to do the talking, so building everything around the media and letting the bio take a back seat felt like the obvious move.

A portfolio can be a composition, not a collection of cards.
OVERLAP brings two ways of exploring projects into the same visual system.
Instead of treating each project as an isolated block, the interactions create relationships between them — through layering, movement and depth.
The result feels less like browsing a grid and more like exploring a composition.
You only get to keep one. Which stays?
The circular layout has a bit of playfulness to it. The landscape gives you a much bigger sense of place.
I can see a case for both. Curious where you land.

I'd keep the landscape one honestly, that sense of scale feels right for anything talking about sustainability at an industry level. Did the client push back on the crop at all, or were they on board with circular from the start?
