Leo Aden is an exploration of what a street photographer’s portfolio could feel like—not just what it could display.
This is my first fully self-directed website concept, created less than a year into learning web design.
I wanted the site to feel like walking through a city: fragmented, quiet, slightly blurred, but still structured enough to guide the viewer through Leo’s world.
While working on this project, I became especially interested in how motion, typography, layout, and photography can work together to express a person’s visual identity—not simply display their work.
I’m still refining my process, but Leo Aden helped clarify the direction I want to pursue: narrative websites for creatives, where art direction shapes the experience rather than simply decorating the page.
What stayed with you most—the mood, the motion, or the layout?
I’d also love to hear how you think art and web design can support each other without sacrificing clarity.

It's a nice design, Oleksandra! Although, I'm not sure how the typography would work if I wanted to visit Äteritsiputeritsipuolilautatsijänkä in Finland 🙃
