Selina Cheng Photography

The Brief

A photographer working across underwater, nature, urban, fashion, still life and beauty photography, moving off a WordPress multisite subsite onto a dedicated Astro build with the image quality her portfolio depends on.

The Build

Nine pages covering six portfolio categories, migrated at original quality by pulling images directly from the server rather than scraping the live site, which would have re-compressed them. A portfolio gallery and lightbox were built from scratch in Tailwind utilities to give full control over how the photography is presented.

Results

• Every image migrated at its original quality, pulled directly from the server rather than scraped from the live site, which would have re-compressed them
• A custom-built gallery and lightbox giving full control over how six distinct photography categories are presented, rather than a generic portfolio plugin
