These days I'm inundated with emails from photographers and their agents. I think some 'designer mailing list' has been circulated to every agent in town, because every designer I know has also recently been swamped in photospam.

In amongst all of that, my attention was drawn towards this bold site for photographer Uli Heckmann.

I like the graphic typeface which dominates the site, and the old-school 'marching ants' effect both when it loads, and when it appears as a menu across the actual portfolio pages. It manages to be charmingly, unobtrusive, even though it dominates the page, and is quite an efficient navigation tool for browsing images across the site. The images are strong enough to survive the superimposition of the menu when it is required, and are then left to fill the screen when it is not.
