There is a natural symbiotic relationship between the talented designers who meticulously create the spaces and the expert photographers who document them with equal care. Tasked with translating a three-dimensional environment and all its considerations—from lighting schemes to material choices—those photographers embrace the unique challenge and hone that skill. Their mastery allows all of us to live vicariously through these gorgeous spaces, and designer furnishing—allowing us to forget the accent chair onto which we are forever piling laundry.
In this list of incredible websites, we celebrate both sides of this relationship. We’ve curated a round-up of exceptional portfolios, showcasing the design studios that conceive and build the world around us, and the dedicated photographers who beautifully capture those environments.
The final piece of this creative ecosystem is building an authoritative digital portfolio to serve as a virtual landmark. Building this digital structure is just as important as building the physical home, acting as the home of your professional work and brand. Here we show you how you can use Format’s designer templates to create the perfect home for your online design and photography portfolio.
