I wanted to make a photography website that felt more like an experience than a portfolio.

So I built CINÉRA — a cinematic photography studio website with a 3D gallery, interactive archive, real availability, and a complete booking flow.

You can explore the work, pick a date and time, add your shoot details, and get booked without the usual back-and-forth.

On the studio side, there’s a dashboard to manage bookings and inquiries, plus automatic booking confirmations to take a bit of the repetitive work off the photographer’s plate.

This was built for an appointment-based business challenge, and honestly, I had way too much fun making it.

the 3d gallery transitions feel really fluid. did you model the room directly or build it in threejs?

Clients in the beauty space often reach out to me to help build websites; they all have the same issue in common. A great business with a very unreliable booking process, which can cost them time and clients.

My process: comp analysis first, then Pinterest for visual direction, claude to help prompts, then used Lovable to build the real thing.

I've been designing e-commerce and service based brands for a while now and Loveable is super versatile and an added tool for my process.
