Website Review

1.Tom Hullhttps://www.tomhull.co.uk/-I liked the fact that it started off with a randomized picture-I also like how he has topics/certain shoots starting with one photo-The colors he used for his website weren’t distracting[]I didnt like the here links to click on to go somewhere else on his blog[]I didnt like how his overview had mostly portraits even though he also does landscapes/places[]I didn’t like the fact that he seemed to hide it in his people shoots, even though the subject of those shoots were people.(When looking through his people shoots, I saw that he did shoots for Nike or NSPCC and other companies, I thought that if Tom were to make another tab like “Nike” or “NSPCC”, his people page/tab wouldn’t be as lengthy and it would promote himself to take shoots for other companies. )There are about 6 tabs on his site (counting the one that takes the viewer back to his home page).There are about 404 pictures on Tom Hull’s portfolio.2. Hilary O’Learyhttp://www.hilaryoleary.com/ -Hilary O’Leary’s portfolio website is setup where one of the first things the viewer sees is her about me, I personally like that. -I like how she has a section (4pictures by 5pictures-4x5) showing off her work, although it's small and doesn’t go through a photo shoot (like Tom’s does), I like how it just seems to flow with the way she set up her website.- I also like how she includes different photoshoots, at first her main subject seemed to be wildlife, but she also takes/took pictures of weddings, dances, and other subjects.[]I didn’t like how when looking at her other “Client Albums”, I had to click on one album, then a mini window would pop up and I’d have to click something else to view the album. It seemed clunky to me. []I also didn’t really like the fact that she has her instagram on her portfolio, I don’t know why I didn't...I just didn’t. Yes, its exposure, but it seemed a bit unprofessional?[] I wasn’t particularly a fan of was that on her 4x5 pictures shown on her home page was it didn’t say if they were all from the same shoot or not..There are 7 tabs, 13 counting the Client Album drop downs and the facebook and twitter bubbles.Hilary has about 268 photos on her portfolio.3. Nikkhttps://www.nikkla.com/Let me just start off by saying, I think this is my favorite photographer so far. His website is simple, doesn't have too much clutter, and it's very aesthetic in my opinion. His about page/tab tells the viewer who he works/has worked with, and its not a small list either. He has five topics for his portfolio and his work is pretty great in my opinion. I like his website as a whole, the plainness of it draws attention to the bigger things like his topics/shoots. The pictures he has chosen to show for the topics is honestly really great. []I dont like how his tabs are slightly hard to see when first going to his website(using the window on half screen)[] In his about page/tab, I couldn’t find his full name which is slightly disappointing. That’s just me though. Other than that, there’s really else that I dont like about his website.There’s about 203 photos on his portfolio.There’s 7 tabs, 8 counting the home page one.4. Juliette Jourdainhttps://www.juliettejourdain.com/When first going to Juliette Jourdains portfolio, the viewer is greeted by an amazing portrait. It shows the viewer that this photographer is going to be unique and mainly portraits. I also like how when scrolling down, the picture transitions into a different one for a brief moment. What I really liked about Juliette’s portfolio was at the bottom of going to the portraits, it shows all of her work. Its a large amount of photos to put, but I just liked it. It showed the cool, unique things she had done with her portraits.[]I didn’t really like how the portfolio isn’t the easiest to navigate, at least it wasnt for me.[] When I first went to her portfolio I stared at the picture and didnt know what to do at first. []I also didnt really like how in the background of looking through the portraits (the main page) how the head on the background kept shining. I found it really distracting. Its a nice touch but just not my jam. []I dont think there was an about me page or anything, I wanted to know more about this photographer, why the self-portraits said “Day [insert number]”. Was it a kind of project?There wasn’t any tabs, unless you count the button. Like one taking you to the portrait page and self-portrait page.There are about 208 photos.5.  Corey Arnoldhttp://www.coreyfishes.com/-Corey has a nice set up for his portfolio, nothing too distracting and the home page cycles through some of his photos, which is something I like.-He also has a page of awards and press that he's gotten/has worked with. I personally like when photographers have a page/tab saying who they have worked with or who they currently work with. -I also like how when the viewer clicks on a tab, there’s a list (I guess its a list?) that lets the viewer know what they went through, or could have went through, to get to that page. Ex: Corey Arnold/about/exhibitions/ ...etc.[]I dont like how when looking through his portfolio, it was hard to tell if some photos were together or separate-there was no clear distinction between the two/many. []I don’t really like how plain some of his pages with information are, the category doesn’t have much of a distinction from the information either. []I like how he has a recent features at the bottom of his home page, in my opinion I don’t like the red too much? I don’t like how his drop down for his tabs go away once the mouse isn’t on it anymore. It’s kind of annoying.There’s 16 tabs.Corey has over 524 pictures, I got really confused with the whole distinction problem with his photos so I stopped once I counted over 500.6. Moe Najatihttp://www.moenajati.com/-His home page shows the viewer his projects which I like. They’re interesting and catch the viewer's eyes. -I also like how his photos are close together, making a sort of bigger picture. -I also like how the background of his portfolio is darker, making his bright photos pop out. I find that really neat and cool.[]I dont really like how sometimes his photos are hard to tell apart from one another at times.[]When looking at his projects, sometimes the screen moves quickly between one another and the dots at the bottom es. He has 4 tabs.There isn’t many photos, but there’s 54. I know hes a director/content creator, but I think this still is a portfolio.7. Ryan Michael Kellyhttp://www.ryanmichaelkelly.com/Ryan’s portfolio is satisfying. The whole look of it goes with Ryan’s subjects/modeling. -I like how he (assumingly) decided which photos were at the top of his overview, very powerful-I like how its easy to distinguish the photos from one another-I like how he has a men and women tab and not just “Portraits”, because he shoots fashion []I dont like how some tabs have SO many drop downs[]I dont like how his “about” and “instagram” are all lowercase while “Contact” and the other tabs arent[]so. Many. drop. Downs.He has a ton of photos (I love them)!He has 8 tabs, not counting the drop downs8. Evaan Kherajhttp://www.evaan.ca/284260-I like how the photos move when going to a different section []It takes a while/it lags/it moves awkwardly-I like how the text is a different color, most others have a more boring (and professional) color[]Wheres his name??? I thought it was Lauren Lee Smith at first, but nope![]Its kind of an awkward set upThere are 7 tabsAnd there are a lot of photos9. Ravi Vorahttp://www.ravivora.com/-I love how his professions are mentioned under his name-I like how the photos are more spread apart-Its not cluttered! Yay! And his about me + contact is one page/tab[]I dont like the very small text for the tabs[]I dont like how all of his other projects are shown at the bottom of one, []it makes the page long and clutteredHe has a good handful of pictures, not too many. He doesnt need a lotThere are 4 tabs10. Laura Makabreskuhttp://lauramakabresku.com/-I love how her style is shown throughout her website-I like the use of /’s to count pages and photos in a shoot-I like that when hovering above her name it becomes “Home” to take the viewer to the home page[]I really really really do not like the whole “loading” and percentage shown[]I dont like how the title of a shoot shows over other photos when hovering above it[]There doesnt’t seem to be enough words, although it isnt needed?[]There’s a credit page??Laura has 5 tabsThere’s also a lot of photos, but not too many (I just got really tired of counting)11. Tim Flachhttp://timflach.com/-ANIMALS WALKING ACROSS THE SCREEN?!-I love how his tabs refer to the kinds of animals that will be seen for the shoot-I love love love the pictures he has (82 Panda Club under Endangered is my favorite picture, besides 21 Axolotl under More Than Human)-I like how it isnt cluttered[] A little too plain?[]Walking animals across the screen are distracting[]nothing else!He has 215 photosHe also has 2 tabs, 10 more including the “drop downs”12. Sans Lenaichttp://www.sanzlena.com/-I like how the photos are distinguishable-I like how the tabs are all on one side[]I dont like how the photos zoom in when hovered on[]The text is pretty small[]I dont like the “+” that shows up on the photos when hovered onThere are 10 tabsTheres not too many photos
