Prompt
Add Your Brief

Add your context below. It will be included with the prompt when you copy or download.

Create a responsive HTML website using the existing project stack for [PROJECT] and [AUDIENCE]. The task is: Photographer Portfolio.

Required content and structure

Build an image-led portfolio with ordered series, captions and a concise commission inquiry.

Use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source of names, dates, figures, claims and destinations. List missing inputs before substituting anything. If a demonstration is needed, label its content as fictional. Do not invent customer quotes, rankings, partner logos or product capabilities.

Design direction

Use [BRAND_RULES] and the design system already selected in the project. If no system is supplied, start with this direction: paper white, deep navy and quiet pale-blue panels; precise grid and spacious typography. Keep type, spacing and color roles consistent. Prioritize the task over decorative elements and avoid a generic collection of unrelated cards.

Content preparation

Select coherent image series, preserve original aspect ratios and supply titles, captions, credits and a commission contact. Identify any photographs that must not be cropped.

Layout and behavior

Use series order and image scale to establish rhythm. Keep navigation on a predictable background and let captions remain available without covering important parts of the photograph.

Task-specific acceptance check

  • Preserve photographic crops and avoid hiding navigation over bright images.
  • Review both portrait and landscape images on mobile.
  • Test bright photography behind navigation, missing captions and opening or closing an enlarged image without losing the gallery position.

Implementation and review

Keep text editable. Use semantic structure, descriptive controls, visible keyboard focus and appropriate empty/error states. Check narrow and wide layouts. Respect reduced-motion preferences. Preserve any existing project framework and dependencies; do not silently replace the stack. Return the editable files and explain any incomplete behavior or unsupported inputs. Review this specific task before proposing extra features.

Reference attachment and reconstruction goal

Attach reference.webp from this prompt’s download bundle alongside this prompt in OpenDesign. Build an editable result with a similar composition and hierarchy; do not embed the whole reference image as the finished interface. Preserve approved project content and brand rules if they conflict with fictional sample labels. If the image is missing or unreadable, ask for it instead of claiming visual fidelity.

Reference composition and content

Use the attached reference.webp as the visual reference for Photographer Portfolio. Before building, identify the major regions from top to bottom, their relative widths and heights, alignment, spacing, typography hierarchy, surface colors, borders, imagery and repeated components. Preserve those relationships rather than substituting a generic template. Required task content: Build an image-led portfolio with ordered series, captions and a concise commission inquiry. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Use series order and image scale to establish rhythm. Keep navigation on a predictable background and let captions remain available without covering important parts of the photograph.

Interaction specification

The reference is a static concept: the behavior below is a requirement to implement, not proof that the picture already works. Copy the customized prompt into your working project. Start with the core task: Build an image-led portfolio with ordered series, captions and a concise commission inquiry. Preserve photographic crops and avoid hiding navigation over bright images. For each visible control, specify its trigger, affected state and feedback; implement local changes with consistent state across related views. Give search and filters real results, selection controls an explicit active state, and save actions visible pending/success/failure feedback where relevant. Do not add unrelated workflows. Use proper links for navigation, buttons for actions and accessible names for icon controls. Do not imply a backend operation succeeded when only a local demo changed.

Visual comparison and delivery

  1. Compare the result with the attached image at matching proportions. Review major region placement, relative image sizes, line breaks, spacing, typography hierarchy, contrast, active states and content density before polishing decorative details.
  2. Then test the narrow layout without squeezing desktop text into tiny labels.
  3. Keep logos, photos and icons as separate assets and all meaningful labels editable. List any unavailable fonts/assets and any intentional departures. Return the working files plus a concise account of implemented behavior and remaining integrations; do not promise a pixel-identical result from the prompt alone.

How to Write a Photographer Portfolio Design Prompt

Use this photographer portfolio design prompt to build an image-led portfolio with ordered series, captions and a concise commission inquiry.

The reference is an AI-generated concept. The instructions below describe what to build and test; the image does not demonstrate working behavior.

Let Series Order Carry the Portfolio Story

A photographer portfolio should preserve the relationship among images in a series.

AI-generated visual concept for photographer portfolio
Photographer Portfolio — compare the overall hierarchy with the layout instructions below.

Randomly filling a grid can weaken the sequencing and crop away the subject of the work. Use series order and image scale to establish rhythm. Keep navigation on a predictable background and let captions remain available without covering important parts of the photograph.

From the Prompt

Use series order and image scale to establish rhythm.

Make It Your Own

Organize [APPROVED_SERIES] in a deliberate order. Preserve image proportions, place captions and credits outside the artwork and provide a concise commission inquiry route.

Prepare the Photographer Portfolio Content

Three featured series pair photographs with short identifiers; specify aspect-ratio handling and captions independently of the hero image.

Check that the layout respects both orientations and maintains the series sequence on mobile. Avoid imposing one crop on every photograph. Review both portrait and landscape images on mobile. Test bright photography behind navigation, missing captions and opening or closing an enlarged image without losing the gallery position.

From the Prompt

Preserve photographic crops and avoid hiding navigation over bright images.

Make It Your Own

Review the photographer portfolio against this requirement: Preserve photographic crops and avoid hiding navigation over bright images. Review both portrait and landscape images on mobile. Test bright photography behind navigation, missing captions and opening or closing an enlarged image without losing the gallery position. Preserve approved content and revise only the parts that fail this check.

Review Your Photographer Portfolio Result

Generated copy, routes and visual structure require review. Do not connect real forms, payments or external services without implementing and testing those flows.

  • Review both portrait and landscape images on mobile. Test bright photography behind navigation, missing captions and opening or closing an enlarged image without losing the gallery position.

Follow-Up Prompt

Use this after the first result. It narrows the revision to the most important part of this task.

Refine the current photographer portfolio. Review both portrait and landscape images on mobile. Test bright photography behind navigation, missing captions and opening or closing an enlarged image without losing the gallery position. Preserve the approved content and visual direction; change only the parts needed to resolve these issues.
