Kai Tietz

The portfolio for photographer Kai Tietz, crafted by Funs Kurstjens and Jonas Pelzer, opens with disarming intimacy. A full-bleed, film-grained portrait fills the screen — a young man in a plain white tee, a sprig of baby’s breath held softly at his lips — bathed in muted grey-green light. Across the centre, a delicate letter-spaced logotype simply reads “Kai Tietz,” thin and white so it never competes with the image. The restraint is the point: nothing distracts from the photograph’s quiet mood, letting the work speak entirely for itself. It is a beautifully understated marriage of photography and web design.
