I've got my new personal portfolio site live at jamesklahn.com - I'd love to hear your thoughts if you have a moment to check it out!
Working on adding a few new case studies in the meantime.
My favorite part of building this was taking my Figma prototype and building the site with Claude Code. It was much easier than I expected and I actually got the framework for the site functioning within 3 prompts! (Having the functionality documented and noted with Figma screens made it much easier for Claude to understand my idea).
Let me know what you think!

What if you could build a lookbook without a photographer, a location, or a model?
I put Krea's new K2-alpha model to the test using my studio's visual identity as the creative brief, feeding in my moodboard and letting the style transfer do the heavy lifting.
Honestly impressed with where this thing landed.

Powerful presentation work. You’ve managed to turn information into a compelling visual story.
For day 13 of my daily creative challenge, I designed a minimal portfolio concept for a fictional indie photographer, Jean-Pierre Despereaux.
The goal was to create something that feels quiet, cinematic, and editorial without relying on heavy visual noise or overly complex layouts.
A lot of photography websites already have beautiful imagery, so I wanted the interface itself to step back and behave more like a gallery wall. Large negative space, restrained typography, monochrome imagery, and subtle composition choices became the focus.
I was also interested in how the experience could scale responsively across desktop, tablet, and mobile while still preserving the same atmosphere and visual rhythm.
This was a fun exploration in restraint, pacing, and letting imagery breathe.
I'm quite confused, cause both looks good, but Dopamine one, is like showing the end result that your life will be that colorful
