Colin Prior
Colin Prior showcases his landscape photography initially through using a landscape with smaller text writing indicating things such as his bibliography, portfolio and blog. The signposting for these links are clearly shown at the top of the page, the website is successful and the layout is clear - straightforward navigation. The pictures are dramatic and take up the whole frame of the page in a panoramic layout, further striking the audience aesthetically. As the photography is travel and landscape themed, the shop for his work is appropriate and may strike audiences wanting a form of art in their house on walls. This adds to the functional purposes of purchasing Colin's photography.
James Davies is a wedding photographer exhibiting his work on his website in a horizontal composition with his most emotionally capturing photos headlining first. The website daviesphotography.co.uk, immediately has the intention to make someone happy, showing the happy event. The navigation around the website is easy to access with buttons like “brochure request,” On initial view at the top of the page, there is a simple and unobtrusive navigation bar which again makes it easy to find important pages and social media profiles without detracting from the main, headlining photograph.
The scroll down is simple showing more beautiful images, each accompanied by a different snippet of text and call-to-action button. These appear in different parts of the screen to avoid being repetitive and ensure that they’re noticed each time, whilst also viewing all parts of the photograph. Functionally, the website is successful and layered out in a smart way. It continuously intrigue the audience whilst still making it clear where the appropriate information is. One thing I have taken inspiration wise from the website is the use of adding text at different parts of images, as it works aesthetically.
