Photography websites

Photography websites have a single priority: show the pictures at their best. Everything else, from navigation to type, should step back.

The jury looks for image presentation that respects aspect ratios and colour, galleries that load quickly without losing quality, and sequencing that tells a story across a series. The best photographers' sites also make licensing, commissions and contact easy to find. Clever layouts and transitions earn points when they make the photographs feel bigger, and lose them when they crop or slow down the work.
