A site from that trade

One sentence, and this came back.

Elias Roth photographs buildings in London. A gallery per project in the order he chose, what a day costs, and an enquiry that arrives with the date and the address on it.

Worth knowing

The pictures were never the hard part.
The words were.

Almost nobody in this trade is short of pictures. What they are short of is the eight hundred words around them: who you are, what you shoot, what a day costs, what happens after somebody writes. That is the part that has been a draft in a notes app for two years, and it is the part that decides whether an enquiry arrives.

So the words are the thing that gets written for you. You answer a few questions about what you photograph and who for, and the page comes back with the sentences already in it. Then you send the work, and it is cropped for every place it appears rather than squeezed into one shape.

The last thing is the ask. A portfolio with a contact page two clicks away is a portfolio somebody admires and leaves. The enquiry sits under the work, on the same page, and it arrives with the date and the place already on it.

Before you ask

The three we get every time.

Will it wreck the quality?

No. Each picture is resized for the place it appears rather than shrunk once and reused, so a full-width frame is served full width and a thumbnail is not a full-width file in disguise.

I shoot several things.

Then there is a gallery for each, in the order you put them in, and the page says which is which. Nothing here assumes one style.

Can I use my own address?

Yes. We buy the domain, put it in your name and renew it, and the site answers on it. There is no separate registrar to remember.

Put the enquiry under the work.
