ELIAS®
A magazine grade Framer template for photographers, filmmakers, and creative directors whose work deserves to be read, not browsed. The frame leads. The interface follows.
Pages designed like spreads. An interface that gets out of the way. Less to write about yourself, more for the work to say.
I. One lens, many faces.
Your best frame deserves the cover of a magazine. On most portfolios, it gets a slideshow.
Every project gets treated like a feature. A hero image that fills the page. A sequence below that breathes. Credits at the bottom like the back of a print issue.
Your work looks like it ran in print. The site doesn't take credit.
II. The frame leads. The interface follows.
A client opens your site. The cursor is doing something. The menu is announcing itself. The hero text is typing itself out one letter at a time. Ten seconds in, they've taken in nothing.
Elias keeps it quiet. A dot for a cursor. Type that holds still. A menu that sits where it should. No tricks asking to be noticed.
What they need to remember is the photograph. Not the site.
III. A portfolio is not a CV.
Photographers don't enjoy writing about themselves. Most templates demand it anyway. Bio. About page. Timeline. Client logos that take an evening to align.
Elias makes the work the piece. Home is work. One short About slot sits on the homepage if you want it. Credits sit at the back of each project. Meet is for people who want to work with you. Not for people curious about your story.
The shortest bio you'll ever write.
IV. Composed, not animated.
Most portfolio scrolls run at feed speed. Snap, snap, snap. The visitor never settles. The image never lands.
Elias slows the page. Parallax gives weight without volume. Transitions take the time a page would take to turn. Sections settle before the next one arrives.
The visitor reads. The image stays.
