We have one word for photographer Blair Bunting’s website: stunning. Not only because of the stellar visuals and imagery, but we love the fluid, easy-to-navigate design that simply pulls the user in.

Read on to get the inside scoop in his site’s creation, and don’t forget to go to www.blairbunting.com to see more!

Q: How would you describe the aesthetic of your website in three words?

BB: Simple, Symmetric, Solid.

Q: How do you choose the photos that you display on your homepage?

BB: The images on the landing page were chosen over a period of months. We would go through tons of images and specific crops of those images to see if the angles and colors were catching. When it was all said and done, we were lucky that the selection that was made also had a broad representation of my portfolio.

Q: How often do you update your website?

BB: I update some aspects of my site, like the blog, quite regularly. During the busier times of the year, I will add one to two posts a week. As for the main site, I update it when new work is allowed to be shown (usually after an embargo).

Q: What is your favorite feature that liveBooks offers?

BB: By far my favorite aspect of liveBooks is their customer support. I spent many hours on the phone and corresponding through emails with them to make the site perfect. Not only did they make changes quickly, but they helped to give ideas to creative and stylistic ways to implement the changes.

Q: What’s one piece of advice you’d offer to someone designing their website?

BB: Make sure it represents you. All too often sites for photographers seem to be showing off the website designer’s strengths at the cost of showing the photographer’s portfolio in a way that is not distracting. When we designed my site, we asked ourselves, “what does it need to show?” Anything that wasn’t a necessity was left out, and what resulted was truly a clean representation of my work.
