Lamella

About this template

Lamella is an editorial portfolio for photographers and directors — quiet paper, big type and pictures that get the whole page.

It opens with a loader that "develops" the first photograph: a small print fades in from paper while the page loads, then grows to fill the screen and becomes the hero. From there, a prism-blind slider turns your best work like vanes of light, and every section reveals itself with calm, unhurried motion.

Pages

• Home — prism slider, intro, selected work, reel, practice, frames, clients, kind words

• Work — project index with hover previews and a contact-sheet grid

• Project — CMS case study with hero, story, credits, gallery and next story

• About — biography, numbers, recognition and studio

• Contact — a short brief form styled like the rest of the site

• 404
