Premium Hotel Photography Website — Elias Kaltenberger
A premium portfolio and lead-generation website designed for Elias Kaltenberger, a professional hotel photographer specializing in hotels, resorts, chalets, and holiday properties.
The website is built around one clear objective: show potential hospitality clients how professional photography can communicate atmosphere, quality, and the complete guest experience while encouraging them to start a conversation.
The Challenge
Hotel photography needs to sell more than beautiful rooms. The website needed to communicate the architecture, design, wellness, culinary experiences, activities, and overall character of each property while positioning Elias as an experienced, reliable creative partner.
The Solution
I created a sophisticated editorial-style experience centered around large photographic compositions, restrained typography, generous whitespace, and subtle gold accents.
The site guides visitors through:
Professional hotel photography and its value for hospitality brands
Elias Kaltenberger's story and approach
A clear 4-step workflow: initial consultation, planning, shooting, and delivery
A curated portfolio featuring projects including Skyview, Seehof, Höflehner, Schlosshotel Fiss, Marriott Malta, Alpine Palace, Villa Kapstadt, Alpinhotel Berghaus, and OLM
A dedicated section explaining why professional photography makes a difference
Behind-the-scenes Vlogs showing real production processes
Repeated, strategically positioned CTAs to encourage an initial consultation
Visual Direction
The visual system was designed to feel premium without becoming overly decorative. Hotel photography remains the hero, while the typography, neutral palette, dark cinematic sections, and gold details create a refined hospitality aesthetic.
Outcome
The result is a website that functions as both a high-end photography portfolio and a client acquisition experience, giving hotels and resorts a clear understanding of Elias's work, process, expertise, and value.

New website for Beer Zombies Brewing Co. 🍺🧟♂️
Designed to be bold, vibrant, and disruptive. This was a fun build because the BZ brand already has such a strong visual identity and personality. Oversized typography, aggressive motion, interactive effects, and a healthy dose of zombie aesthetics. 🤘

The oversized type and aggressive motion fit the beer-brand attitude perfectly, especially how the green palette carries from the hero into the product details.
My previous poll showed unexpected results (I am very grateful to everyone who took the time to vote and comment 🤍).
Now I am curious about your opinion on the color mode for this hero section. I definitely like a light theme. What about you?
By the way, I made a nice animation for this design. You can see it on my profile

To be honest the dark mode looks really good
Would you stop to look at these homes?
That’s what I enjoy about this design.
It makes browsing feel natural, even when you’re just there to check out the website.
