Storytelling of Jugni | Personal Photobook Launch Website
Ali Shah Lakhani
Oh, you know, as a "kick-ass" web developer, you'd think creating my own website would be a piece of cake, right? But let me tell you, it's been such a breeze! 🙄 Not only did I create a hyper dynamic website that was managed by a world-class CMS, but I also injected the magic of Static site generation backed by Storyblok & Vercel's world-class CDN & Image optimization features. If I wake up one day randomly deciding to launch one more book, I can instantly create a new custom page with super fast SEO and page speed and go live in an hour.
And hey, did I mention I wrote my own photobook? Oh yeah, it's called Jugni Ji - a fancy Punjabi term for a 'female firefly' - which apparently represents the "spirit of life." Cue the awe and wonder! 🙄
In this book, I've captured moments where I had profound conversations with these spirit flower beings (aka fireflies) while photographing them. You know, all that meditative photography stuff - the real life-changing lessons, of course.
So, yeah, it's basically me becoming one with nature through fireflies. It's not like I'm just running around with a camera, chasing glowing bugs or anything... coughs
But hey, you know what? These little beings taught me a thing or two about appreciating intricate beauty. And I gotta admit, it's been a genuinely eye-opening journey. Who knew flowers could be such great teachers, right? 😅
So, if you're curious (or maybe just feeling extra generous), check out my Jugni Ji photobook. You might find yourself getting strangely inspired by flowers too. No promises though! 😂✨ Tech stack is Storyblok + NextJS + Vercel
