Taste Test
Where should the lights end up?
I'm building a Framer template that works like a darkroom. The photo comes up out of blank paper in a tray of liquid, shadows first, and the headline only appears once the print gets dark around it.
Right now the safelight stays on for about eight seconds, then the room lights come up and it turns into a black and white print. I keep going back and forth on that part.
Stay amber, or lights on?

Photographer Portfolio Website
"Capturing light, emotion, and the moments you never want to forget." That line set the tone, and the layout follows it.
The hero is one motion-blurred portrait washed in red. The photographer's name runs across the bottom in a condensed white face, so large the screen cuts it off. The photo keeps its soft focus, and the name still reads first.
Thin grid lines split the page into narrow columns, and the small copy sits justified inside them. The loose photo gets a strict structure to lean on.
A single round red button with an arrow sits right on the letters and marks where to go next.

The heavy condensed white FLORENCE over the red portrait is bold, and keeping the same red across phone, laptop and type tile makes the case study read as one system. Did the red come from the photographer's own work, or was it your call?
Video-led hero for me. The big script Presence over the field sells a feeling in one glance, which is what wellness needs. The expanding gallery would work well as the second section.
Both look great, but Violet & Black gets my vote! The purple accents give it a more modern, premium feel while keeping the design clean and focused on conversions. Amazing how a color change can create such a different brand personality. Have you tested which version performs better with visitors?
