Moment Gallery

Overview

A photography portfolio and inquiry site for Ontario event, portrait, corporate, and food photography.

Problem

A working photographer needed a distinctive web presence that could communicate craft, services, availability, and client gallery access without feeling like a generic photo template.

Constraints

The site needed to feel editorial and high-end while staying fast, responsive, accessible, and easy for prospective clients to scan from mobile devices.
