Hikari Hour

About Hikari Hour

Hikari: a travel photography portfolio lit by one sun.

Hikari is a one-page Framer template for travel and landscape photographers. A live anime-style sky sits behind the whole site. Visitors move the sun with their cursor, and as they scroll the day passes across your photos, from blue hour before dawn to a starry night.

Why most photography portfolios feel flat

  • Every photo sits on the same white page. In Hikari, each photo appears under the sky of the hour it was taken.

  • Nothing makes visitors stay. The giant brush 光 in the hero catches the light as visitors move the sun, and clicking the sky takes a "frame" that drops into a stack of prints.

  • Stories get lost. Every episode carries its time, place, a short note and the camera settings.

What sets Hikari apart

  • A live sky: sun, clouds, light shafts, stars and moon, rendered in real time.

  • Text that stays readable: it switches between dark and light as the sky changes.

  • Native CMS: add or reorder places in the Episodes collection, and the sky follows the times you set.

  • Anime details: vertical brush titles (第一話), lens flares and lit windows after dark.

  • Responsive: designed for desktop, tablet and phone. On touch screens visitors drag the sun with a finger.

  • Respects reduced motion: the sky stays still when the visitor's device asks for less motion.
