Jas Lehal Photography

Freelance photographer Jas needed a reliable system to organise and display her diverse portfolio - spanning news, portrait, documentary and music - online.

Jas already had a visual identity for her business cards (the blue and white text on a dark background) and wanted to use this on the new website. A completely black background made the contrast between the images and the backdrop a bit too intense, so we experimented with varying shades of gray to soften the impact on the eye. We designed a grid that gave as much room as possible for image display while ensuring the page fitted the majority of screen resolutions.

Using the open source gallery software Zenphoto, with its user-friendly admin interface, we enabled Jas to quickly and easily upload fresh work onto her website.

Features:

  • Home page with rotating images
  • Custom Zenphoto theme incorporating jQuery scripts for navigational elements
