About: This is the personal portfolio of russian professional photographer, Mikhail Shlemov.
Creative Thinking: My number one rule when designing a photography portfolio or any other artist's portfolio is to keep the design minimal and simple and let the content do the magic. The site’s main background is a subtle dark grey to black gradient to make the beautiful and colorful photography pop out on the page. A fine grey wire frame looking ribbon runs at the top of the main menu to add a little bit of a light smooth character to the overall dark design.
