Branding, Web Design, Web Development

Visual identity, web design, and development for photographer and director Brooke Nipar. She needed a site that would elevate her video and photo work, while still being easily searchable based on category. We allude to the vernacular of photography with negative menu overlays and the use of blur and focus to highlight content.
