Aperture Lab Framer Template

About this template

Most portfolio templates look the same: dark background, one accent color, a grid of images. Aperture breaks that mold. Inspired by analog darkrooms and contact sheets, it's built specifically for photographers, film labs, and creative studios who want a site that feels as considered as their work.

Perfect for: independent photographers, film development labs, creative studios, photography workshops, and any brand that wants a warm, editorial, print-inspired aesthetic instead of the typical minimalist-dark template look.

Key Features:

7 fully-designed pages - Home, Portfolio, Services, Studio/About, Contact, 404, and Legal

Interactive photo slideshow - custom gallery with arrow navigation, frame counter, and thumbnail strip

100% responsive - tested across desktop, tablet, and mobile breakpoints

Custom type system - Fraunces (serif display) + IBM Plex Sans/Mono, fully editable as Framer text styles

9-token color system - rebrand the entire site by editing just 9 color styles

Smooth scroll-reveal animations throughout, with reduced-motion support built in

FAQ accordion component - ready for your own Q&A content

Booking/contact form - ready to connect to Framer Forms, Zapier, or any form backend

Custom 404 + Legal page included - most templates skip these; this one doesn't

What's Included:

1× Framer Remix Link (full editable source, unlimited projects)

Free lifetime updates

Most templates in this category default to dark mode + neon accents. Aperture is warm, tactile, and editorial, closer to a print magazine than a SaaS landing page. If your brand or your client's brand is about craft, process, and material (photography, design studios, boutique agencies), this template will feel native to that story instead of fighting it.
