STIL: Editorial-Style Photography Portfolio

Lucid

Lucid Haus

Overview – STIL

STIL is a self-initiated web design project focused on crafting a refined, editorial-style photography portfolio. The goal was to create an immersive browsing experience that feels calm, cinematic, and visually intentional. Built entirely in Framer, the site features a fully responsive layout, smooth scroll animations, and a seamless dark/light theme toggle. The design emphasizes clarity, mood, and spaciousness — allowing photography to take center stage without unnecessary distractions.

Shaping the Mood

The visual direction was inspired by editorial magazines, moody portfolio sites, and natural textures. I aimed to create something that felt like a quiet, immersive photo book — minimal yet emotionally rich.
I used Figma to design and structure the layout, focusing on clear hierarchy, balanced whitespace, and restrained typography.
ChatGPT assisted in generating base ideas and visual concepts, especially for thematic imagery like abstract florals and dark botanical textures.
Photoshop was used to refine and enhance a few key images — adjusting tone, lighting, and detail to align with the intended aesthetic.
The entire build was executed in Framer, where I focused on responsive design, smooth scroll interactions, and a seamless dark/light mode experience.
