The problem

The photographer needed more than a public portfolio. They also needed a private client delivery experience and a protected studio area for managing homepage work, galleries, access, and downloads.

02

My approach

I connected three experiences in one product: a public photography portfolio, an owner-only Studio, and access-code-protected client galleries. Clients can choose a carousel or full grid, open a lightbox, download individual images, or prepare the complete gallery as a ZIP.

Real delivery numbers.
No invented results.

These figures come from tested functionality and production verification, not estimated traffic, sales, or conversion claims.

Connected experiences in one product

Full-gallery ZIP download workflow

The details that make
the workflow useful.

01

Protected galleries

Access-code validation keeps client work behind the intended gallery entry flow.

02

Two viewing modes

Clients can switch between a focused carousel and a complete full-grid view.

03

Bulk delivery

A visible Download all action prepares a browser-side ZIP with progress feedback.

04

Owner controls

The protected Studio manages homepage media, gallery content, ordering, and access.

A working result,
not a concept mockup.

The production system now supports the full path from owner curation to protected client delivery. Access checks, live endpoints, both gallery layouts, and the client-side bulk ZIP workflow were verified before deployment.
