p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · new brand and portfolio ...


Hi,

you know, we finally came to the conclusion that it will not work to show our new stuff on the old site. It does not work together.

So we made a new brand, a new site, a new everything...




I would like to get some feedback on the site, if you are willing or on the portfolio slideshow... or both if you are bored (0:


h ttps://just-schmidt.com


and the slideshow (tried to implement the video here, but it did not work)


https://just-schmidt.com/slideshow/



Thank you!

I couldnt see much in my ipad, all messy. There must be something wrong with the script that runs the site in the first link.

The second link is super !, which planet did you say you are coming from ? 😊

It looks great, honestly. And veeeery specialized. I think many people will wonder if the whole wedding is going to be shot in that way, so you may get some pushback from that stand point. I think the work is amazing. I'm curious of how it will be received by people looking to book!

Side note: I've watched you explore for years now with your photography and I am truly impressed and inspired by your push to create something uniquely you and visually consistent. Cheers, Heiko!

Heiko, really nice work and it presents a very specialized visual approach. I hope it works well for you.

On an unrelated note, you might want to consider purchasing the domain www.justschmidt.com for $50. Using a hyphenated URL is generally poor for organic SEO and for only $50 you could own www.justschmidt.com without a hyphen.

And before anyone says it, no, I do not own www.justschmidt.com ;-)

I would align to the logo and text to be more selective/serious like the images. Would Leica start their website with "our cameras are different"? Of course they're different.

This whole project is a personal journey of figuring out what photography means to YOU, and I would reflect that in everything. As if to say, "this is my art, dammit." Some customers love supporting the tortured artist and that's who I would try to connect with.

You might spend some time on Jonas Peterson's site as a reference for a voice. He was a talented advertising writer and blogger before picking up a camera professionally. This core marketing sense of the target client will sustain you beyond the value of the art alone. Think, image (in an advertising sense).

He really has a gift at packaging the solo-artist-who-just-happens-to-pay-the-bills-with-photography-and-aren't-you-glad-he-will-grace-your-day-with-his-presence vibe.

I like your point of view and processing. I wonder thought whether many brides will get it.

There are some issues with scaling.

This is how it opens up on ultrawide, too much white space on top, not that any bride will watch on ultrawide ;-)

also, if you target .de it is best to use .de domain

yes, I know. If you have a wide-screen, you need to scroll. Otherwise it does not look good on normal screens, as it sits too high then.

I actually do not target Germany, then I would not need to make the site in English.

thank you
