David LaChapelle’s bold, provocative photography called for a website with enough personality to complement it without competing with it. Oversized navigation and typography give the interface its own presence, while the rest of the site remains deliberately minimal.
Image-based submenus and animated navigation extend that visual language, creating a distinctive framework for the work.

The challenge was to give the interface enough personality to stand alongside LaChapelle’s photography without turning the site itself into a spectacle. Oversized navigation, image-based submenus, animated type, and tightly spaced grids create a deliberately exaggerated framework, while supporting typography and controls remain minimal. The contrast allows the navigation to have a distinct identity without competing with the work it organizes.
