Brief
Most photography ends up in the same three grid layouts. We built a custom archive that treats sequence and pacing as part of the work.
Approach
Sequence over grid
Images are ordered as a walk, not a grid — the site controls pacing the way a printed photobook would, with full-bleed spreads and deliberate white space.
A living archive
New shoots are added directly into the sequence through a lightweight internal tool, so the archive grows without a redesign each time.
