We’ve recently worked with designer Tracy Graffin (again) to launch the new Mark Greenland Photography website.

Mark’s photography is stunning, and Tracy has put together a design that is elegant in its simplicity. Don’t be fooled, achieving a simple and clean design is not as easy as it looks.

You can catch Mark at the upcoming Light Fantastic 2010 event, organised by Nick Melidonis and Dale Neill.

Layered Gallery Thumbnails

Layered Gallery Thumbnails

We’ve used a layered thumbnail technique to present the galleries for this website.  This required some modifications to our Simple Gallery plugin that we are using for a few photography projects. By displaying a thumbnail for each gallery image at the bottom of the image area it is very easy to navigate the gallery. Those who like using the next/previous approach (using buttons or keys) can still navigate that way, but overall we wanted to make it very easy to scan the gallery and access specific images.
