George Steinmetz

Scope

Background

George Steinmetz, aerial photographer for National Geographic, needed a custom page to sell fine art prints within his existing website infrastructure built on PhotoShelter. This way he could display the layout he wanted without compromising for PhotoShelter's pre-existing templates.

Challenges

I had to build this custom layout within PhotoShelter's HTML editor. This meant no custom JS or features and only inline styles. Even with those constraints I was able to provide his desired layout and make it responsive so it looked great on any device.

Key Findings

Accommodating the Client

George already had a website, brand identity, and large following on Instagram to draw in visitors. I used the same fonts and color palette to blend the new page seamlessly with the rest of the website and brand identity.

Image-Oriented Layout

To let the images shine we laid them on a plain white background with the captions below to give the user context. The result feels less like a web page and more like a gallery wall — letting the work sell itself.

Key Results

Prints Sold

Once live, George sold X prints. The page turned his existing Instagram audience into paying customers, giving collectors a direct path from discovery to purchase.
