Monochrome Photography Portfolio

Create a monochrome/grayscale photography portfolio that puts images front and center. The design is deliberately stripped back — black, white, and shades of gray only.

Design Requirements

Color: Strictly black (#000000), white (#ffffff), and shades of gray. No color whatsoever.

Images: Full-bleed, high-contrast black-and-white photography. Apply CSS filter: grayscale(100%) to all images

Typography: Space Grotesk, all uppercase for navigation, thin/light weights

Spacing: Dramatic use of whitespace and full-viewport sections

Sections to Include

Landing — Full-screen hero image, photographer name in thin uppercase text, centered

Gallery Grid — Masonry or Pinterest-style grid of photos, hover reveals title + category

Project Pages — Horizontal scroll of images within a project, full-height

About — Split screen: large portrait left, bio text right

Contact — Minimal form: name, email, message. Black background, white inputs

Technical Details

CSS filter: grayscale(100%) on all images by default

Hover effect: images slightly scale, show bottom caption overlay

Masonry layout using CSS columns or grid with grid-auto-rows: masonry

Smooth fade-in on scroll for images (Intersection Observer)

Responsive: 3 columns → 2 columns → 1 column
