CineStories
Photography & Cinematic Portfolio
A cinematic portfolio website for a photography studio showcasing high-resolution galleries, client stories, and booking options. Built with smooth scroll-driven animations and optimized for fast loading despite hundreds of images.
The photographer needed a website that did justice to their work — fast, beautiful, and immersive. Most portfolio templates felt generic and couldn't handle large image libraries without becoming painfully slow.
THE SOLUTION
Designed a custom Next.js portfolio with GSAP scroll animations, Splide galleries, and lazy-loaded high-res images. Every section was crafted to tell a visual story, from the hero to the contact form.
THE FEATURES
Cinematic Galleries
Full-bleed image layouts with smooth transitions
Scroll Animations
GSAP-powered reveal effects throughout
Lazy Loading
