Sammy Danko: A portfolio website for a Miami photographer
Photography that holds the day: portraits, lifestyle, weddings and editorial.
The photography leads every page
sammydanko.com is the portfolio site of a Miami-based photographer working in portraits, lifestyle, weddings and editorial. I designed and built it on Squarespace so the photography leads every page.
Let the pictures do the talking
A photographer's website has one job: let the pictures do the talking, then make it easy to book. It had to cover weddings, events and portraits without feeling like three different sites. The approach is a quiet, editorial layout with full-bleed heroes, generous white space and photo grids that carry each page, using Inter for text and an italic serif for a single accent word per headline.
Discovery to build
Discovery: understanding the photographer, the services and the clients the site should attract.
Design: shaping the layout, type and colour so the work stays centre stage.
Build: building and refining every page on Squarespace with Fluid Engine, for desktop and mobile.
Inter with a Playfair Display italic accent
Inter for headings and text, and Playfair Display italic for one accent word in each headline. The palette: paper #FBFBF9, ink #0E0E0E, black, sand #F2EFE8 and a tan accent.
Portfolio and services
The portfolio page groups the archive into three series: weddings, editorial and portraits, and portrait and lifestyle. The services page sets out each offering with what is included, delivery and a starting price.
