Saartje Bals
At Studio Matti, we believe in the power of storytelling through images, and collaborating with photographer Saartje Bals was an opportunity to put this belief into action. With her eye for detail and ability to capture raw, authentic moments, Saartje needed a website that reflected her work and connected deeply with her audience.
The challenge: Creating a website that feels like a visual diary
Saartje Bals approached us with a clear request: to create a website that doesn’t just display her work but also tells the story behind each photograph. The challenge was to craft an online space that feels like an intimate visual diary while remaining functional and easy to navigate. Her portfolio is diverse, ranging from personal moments to commercial work. The new website had to reflect her authentic style while catering to potential clients looking for professionalism and creativity.
Building a digital home for Saartje’s art
To bring Saartje’s vision to life, we focused on creating a website that balanced minimalism with emotion. The design is intentionally clean, allowing the photographs to take center stage. Each page is carefully curated, presenting Saartje’s work in a way that highlights the mood and story behind every shot. We structured the site to ensure visitors can navigate effortlessly through Saartje’s various collections, from intimate portraits to editorial photography. A responsive design was crucial to ensure her site looked flawless on all devices.
A seamless blend of creativity and functionality
The final result is a website that truly embodies Saartje’s work. It’s not just a portfolio; it’s a space that invites visitors into her world. With large, striking images and intuitive navigation, it showcases her talent while being user-friendly and functional.
