mockup composition. your photography sits here at launch — full-bleed, sequenced like an editorial spread, retouched and served as AVIF.

contents

five sections. nothing else.

I.

the studio

a single page that says who you are, in your own voice — not a paragraph borrowed from your about-deck.

II.

named projects

every project gets its own page. brief, palette, photography, the credit list. the way Wallpaper would lay it out.

III.

press & recognition

a quiet wall for editorial features, awards, and the magazines that have covered your work.

IV.

journal

a slow-cadence editorial column. one essay a quarter beats ten blog posts. positions you for the kind of client who reads before they hire.

V.

studio enquiry

no contact form. a single, considered enquiry with sector, scope, and budget — built to filter, not to harvest.

colophon

how we set the page.

type
two faces, no more. one serif for headlines, one for everything else.
image
full-bleed, ungridded where the project allows. negative space treated as a material.
motion
almost none. a page that respects the work doesn't need to perform.
load
<1.5s. an interior designer's photography deserves to be served, not buffered.

notes

things studios ask first.

can my project pages be password-protected before launch?+

yes. each project page can sit behind a passcode for press embargoes or NDA'd developer work, then opens publicly on a date you set.

i want the site to feel like a magazine. is that what you do?+

yes. editorial typography, asymmetric grids, generous whitespace, no carousels. the brief is closer to a publication than a marketing site.

do you handle photography retouching?+

we don't shoot, but we colour-correct, sequence, and prepare your photographer's deliverables for the web — including AVIF/WebP versions at every breakpoint.

can the journal accept arabic essays?+

yes. AR/EN essays sit side by side with proper RTL typography and a published-in language flag in metadata.
