Blitz images website project overview

Simon Harvey is a London based photographer specialising in portrait shots. He came to Navig8 because he knew that we would deliver a simple but sophisticated site that would complement rather than over shadow his stunning work.

What happened

Simon Harvey is a photographer Navig8 works with. He has photographed portraits for annual reports, children playing with toys and the odd building for us. So we know what he’s about. He asked us to design, build and host a simple, small, ‘portfolio’ website for his new company. Simon has a knack of taking photographs of people; he not only captures the moment, he captures their character. First of all, he wanted a name for the company, we devised Blitz Images.

Why it was good

This site is all about the images, nothing more, the surrounding areas are black so that the viewers attention is firmly fixed on the eye candy. There is a discrete set of navigation, broken up into photographic subject matter.

A flash movie brings in his images and the portfolio allows the user to see an image at three sizes. Behind the scenes there is a system where Simon can upload, new projects and more images.

What happened next

The site launched and Simon has a showcase for his work and a nice busy diary. We have plans to develop the site even more, one idea is to develop a Blitz Images photo library.
