cristof-echard.fr

This site wasn't english but i still knew what i was doing for the most part.



It was a very clean layout, the menu to select whether you wanted to view the personal or professional work was hidden away in the top right and the fullscreen in the bottom left.

Nothing interferes with the photography!
Even the captions for the photography need to be clicked on to be seen (there's a little plus sign on the right).




When you select a section you are given thumbnails to view and slightly larger ones when they load so you can see if you actually want to see it before you wait for it. It's a very user-friendly design. The transition animation isn't overly complex so it doesnt really lag when the piles of images behind the sections scatter. Flash can definately add to the user experience as long as their computer can handle it.



Keeping two seperate sections for paid and personal work is a good way to present both what you love to do and what you are capable of doing. As sometimes paid work doesnt give the necessary freedom or expression for the photographer.

This was a well-built, clean portfolio.
