Aren Vale

A light, minimal portfolio for photographers who want their pictures to lead, not the layout.

Who it's for

Still life, product, animal and architecture photographers, and small photo studios, who need a portfolio that feels like a printed book and still takes minutes to update.

• A curved, GPU-rendered carousel on Home that reads the CMS by itself

• Contact form with sending, sent and error states

• 6 colour styles, 6 text styles, Desktop, Tablet and Phone layouts

Why

Most photo templates crop your work into the same grid. Aren Vale bends the first view into a curved wall of frames, then gets out of the way: white space, quiet type and every photo at full quality.

Start Here walks you through setup in 8 steps, the Styleguide keeps new pages on brand, and the /customize and /design-system skills let Framer's AI agent edit and extend it the same way.
