The site was made with PHP and a special image library gallery complete with a backend management system so that he can easily add, edit, delete any images or galleries at any time. The artist has complete control over his website. The menus are dynamically generated by the galleries he makes. Thumbnails and all the different sizes are automatically done so that he only has to upload one file. He can also insert alt tags, keywords, description, and other settings for each picture individualy.

I have implemented the "lightbox" effect for his pictures per gallery page. The titles inside the lightboxes come from the database as well.

The monochromatic colors make an elegant surrounding for the artwork to stand out on its own. The eye had to be drawn to the main focus which is the artwork.
