What it is
Gonzalo is a photographer based in San Pedro Garza García whose work documents the energy of northern Mexico: street characters, neon nightlife and the Sierra Madre. In his words, every frame is a declaration of where we are.
Dark, cinematic and editorial: a camera-flash intro built around his silhouette, his name in a signature script, film-strip galleries, and a light mode for daytime. Then I gave him the keys, an admin where he runs the whole site.

The problem
A photographer's work changes every week. He needed a site that shows it the way he sees it, turns visitors into quote requests, and that he can update without calling me.

What it does
Galleries told like stories
Street, events, portraits, and Brookside, a road series through the Sierra Madre in three acts, with a lightbox that zooms and swipes.
From visit to booking
Six services, a quote form, a message form and a WhatsApp button, with an email alert whenever a request comes in.
His own admin
Photos and collections, hero slides, a drag-and-drop page builder with bilingual fields, blog, SEO, page views, and inboxes for quotes and messages.
A live theme editor
Presets, colours and fonts he can change with a live preview, then export or import as a file.
Two languages, two modes
Spanish and English and dark and light on every page, remembered in the browser, with a privacy notice written for Mexican law.

Timeline
The full portfolio built and live in a day, with his real photos in every gallery, two languages and dark and light modes.
Brand pass: his signature-script name, an editorial serif, the silhouette camera-flash intro and page wipes.
The site became his to run: an admin, a content API and a sitemap that updates itself.
A drag-and-drop page builder, the live theme editor, inboxes and email alerts.
