A website you step into.
A concept site for wildlife photographer Ethan Vale. An intro film gives way to a sphere of photographs you can spin, zoom into and open — the kind of front-end craft that makes a brand impossible to scroll past.
Concept Ethan Vale is a fictional photographer created for this showcase.

Cinematic, but fast.
No frameworks or 3D engines — just CSS 3D transforms and a single animation loop, so it stays light and smooth on phones too.
Loading that feels intentional
A splash tracks real progress while images are decoded and resized in the browser, then a 2× intro film hands over to the archive.
Touch-aware drag
Mouse drags rotate instantly; on phones, vertical swipes still scroll and only horizontal gestures turn the sphere.
FLIP lightbox & grid
Photos fly from their card into a lightbox and back, with an archive grid view for quick browsing.
