A dark site to bring out the light
Designing a completely dark website allowed me to highlight the images of Maria who, through to the light painting technique, used the light to bring out the subjects of her photos.
A new sitemap and new contents
The first step was the creation of a sitemap in order to better organize all the activities from courses to special events etc.
Careful Rebranding
The brand focuses precisely on the trails of light and even the primary blue was sampled by a light effect created with a LED while taking its photos. The logotype was instead recreated on two different styles repeated throughout the site.

A complete new website
The main feature of the website is its immediacy in the use of the photographer's works by focusing on the minimal aspect in terms of structure and layout but at the same time enhancing the photos
