LightTable

A minimal photography portfolio, built like a light table

Show your work on an infinite canvas that slowly drifts. Hover over a photo to magnify with a loupe, and click to open its project. Clean, editorial and minimalist, so the work shines.

Who it’s for

Photographers, visual artists and anyone who wants a polished, bespoke website to showcase their work and needs a quick and easy setup to do so. Upload your projects to a simple CMS, put your name in the header, set your contact email and the site is ready. The available pages across the website are designed to draw content from the CMS automatically.

What it does

• Choose what the canvas shows. Pick which photos go on the home canvas and how many. The rest stay on the project page.

• A gallery for every project. A scrollable gallery with a varying layout, so each project feels unique. Photos are shown at their own size and shape, and sharp on every screen. A full-screen view and captions let you tell the story behind each image.

• Monochrome or full colour. No filters needed before uploading. Upload photos as they are, then set a look for the whole site: Black & White, Sepia, Warm Mono, Faded, or their natural colours. Monochromatic pages can show full colour on hover.

• Add pages with the agent. A robust design system and an agent skill are included. Ask Framer’s agent for a new page and it builds it in the same minimalist design. A hidden More menu is ready for new pages: rename a row, link it, done.

• Responsive. Layouts for phone, tablet, laptop, desktop and large screens.
