“A photograph is usually looked at, seldom looked into.” -Ansel Adams

Swiss Photographer Kevin Hey came looking for a website to portfolio his work, we couldn’t help fall into his images and emerge with, arguably, our most creative and beautiful website to date.

CHALLENGE

“Keep it simple but it should be something special” was the basic briefing. This notion of simple but special is the holy grail of design, often touted, but rarely achieved. Kevin Hey, a rising star in the Swiss photography scene, gave us a unique opportunity when he came to us to make his online collection stand out from the crowd.

Displaying images is something we do all the time, but the client required flexibility too. He needed a site that he could work with and upload new images to with no fuss. So with an appreciation for good design buried deep within our bones and being the helpful friendly digital agency that we are, we jumped on this all too rare opportunity to create something both beautiful and functional.

 
SOLUTION

Our designers were understandably excited to work with material of such quality. They made it the top priority to orient this site with the photographs in full focus. A simple but thoughtful navigation was employed with an open structure that draws the user in and was paired with smooth transitions that make it a joy to explore.

The outcome is a not very typical Spoiled Milk website, which makes it even more special to us. To meet the client’s demands for continuous content updates and ease-of-use, we implemented WordPress on the back-end. This has given us a whole new appreciation for what creatively is possible in our work by using standard tools.
