Naoya Matsumoto Photographer

Designed by Yota Shiraishi, the portfolio for Tokyo photography talent Naoya Matsumoto is a lesson in editorial restraint. A stark white canvas, tidy monospace type and a single red accent frame an indexed table of shoots that reads almost like a contact sheet, with dates spanning 2011 to 2017. Selecting a title reveals crisp fashion and portrait work set against city streets and bold colour backdrops, each image given room to breathe by generous negative space. The understated typography keeps every ounce of attention on the pictures. It is quietly sophisticated web design that lets the work speak for itself.
