Prompt
Build a website for Iris Kaleo, a documentary photographer based in Lisbon who works worldwide. Strictly black and white and very quiet: a tiny name and menu, a large two-tone intro sentence (her name in black, the rest in grey) with a small availability note above, two small pill buttons, and a black-and-white portrait cropped into a tall arch on the right. Then an about block with a long two-tone paragraph beside a small facts table (based in, working, medium, languages), and 'selected work' as a grid of black-and-white photo series with titles, places and years, followed by journal entries, contact details and a minimal footer. Neutral sans-serif, small caps labels, nothing but photography for colour.
The design goes in as your reference: the builder follows its look and writes new words for your business. Building needs a plan; you'll pick one first if you haven't.

Design notes
Restraint is the whole idea. Everything is black, white and grey, and the only images are monochrome photographs, so the work carries all the contrast. The intro is a large, light-weight sans sentence split into two tones, the name in black and the rest in grey, a trick repeated in the about paragraph. Tiny monospaced labels, numbered by section, act as quiet signposts. The tall arch-cropped portrait on the right softens an otherwise rectilinear grid, and the facts table with hairline rules is a neat way to present practical details. Ideal for documentary or fine-art photographers, writers, or anyone whose portfolio should feel calm and unhurried.
