Photography is one of the most beautiful ways to express art, as well as design, – in a way that life gets captured in a single moment that can tell us a story. When looking at photography we become more aware of our ability to think creatively, much the same way we use our imagination to fill the gaps when reading a book, as we all see something different in a photograph.

To celebrate my interest in web, design and photography I have made a selection of good web design on photography websites. These sites feature rich textures, good use of colour and some of them have interesting layouts.

Arnaud COMPAGNE | Freelance Photographer

Beautiful textured scene and graphics used very creatively.

THREE23(DOT)NET | The Online Portfolio of Caleb Lummer
