Ali Sharaf

Suspended Animations designed this striking portfolio for Ali Sharaf, and it opens on pure drama. A full-bleed beauty image fills the screen — a model with emerald eyeshadow, a black lace veil and a sculptural necklace, lit against deep shadow — with a single minimal white "A" placed quietly at the centre. The restraint is the point: the web design steps back so the photography can command the entire frame. Moody, elegant and cinematic, alisharaf.com makes a memorable first impression.
