Project brief
The goal
Give a Dutch travel and documentary photographer a portfolio where the photographs lead. A visitor should be able to read a story, see the whole series and reach her about an assignment without leaving the site.
What it is
A Squarespace portfolio for a travel and documentary photographer, built around six photo stories. Each story has its own page with a written narrative and a masonry gallery, plus a contact page with her bio and an enquiry form.
Built for
Photography portfolio · Travel and documentary work · Assignment enquiries
SEO
Every story sits on its own descriptive URL with a unique page title and canonical tag, all listed in the sitemap, and gallery images lazy load from the Squarespace image CDN.
What we built
- A full-screen slideshow on the home page, then two featured stories with view links
- A Work page indexing six photo stories, each on its own page
- Every story page pairs a written narrative with a masonry gallery
- A location line under each story title, like Sumba, Indonesia and Hiroshima, Japan
- A contact page with her bio and a name, email and message form
- Instagram linked in the footer of every page
