Custom Squarespace Site for New York-Based Fine Art Photographer

In the world of fine art photography, presenting a portfolio that truly reflects the essence of the artist’s work is paramount. When Allan Baillie, a renowned fine art photographer based in New York and San Miguel de Allende, approached me for a custom Squarespace site, he sought more than just a digital platform.

He needed a website that could encapsulate the sublime beauty of his black and white botanical photographs while paving the way for new projects and opportunities. This case study delves into how we achieved this through a bespoke Squarespace design that elegantly showcases Allan’s unique artistic vision.

The Challenge

Allan Baillie’s photography captures the timeless and serene beauty of nature through stunning black and white imagery. His portfolio is a testament to his deep appreciation for the subtleties of his subject matter.

The challenge was to create a website that not only highlights the delicate and impactful vision behind his work, but that also provides a user-friendly experience that generously supports his future projects and ambitions.

What Allan Baillie Had to Say

"Before working with Elizabeth, my website was a costly, hidden corner of the internet. I needed a fresh start but worried about costs and finding someone who understood an artist's needs. Elizabeth exceeded all my expectations. I've now landed major clients, received countless compliments, and got an invitation to exhibit in Europe. Her generosity and patience have been invaluable. Recommending Elizabeth is second nature. She’s the perfect designer for any artist looking to create a standout website." – Allan Baillie
