Shakey Finger Photography

Shakey Finger Photography is a West Coast based photography business capturing the raw beauty of New Zealand’s landscapes and the authentic stories of the people who live here. Known for powerful imagery of rugged coastlines, mountains, and local life, the business required a website that could showcase large format photography while maintaining a clean and professional online presence.

The goal was to create a platform that allowed visitors to experience the imagery in an immersive way while also making it easy to explore galleries, learn about the photographer, and enquire about services.

Target Audience

The website was designed to connect with both local and international audiences including tourism operators, brands seeking authentic New Zealand imagery, collectors interested in fine art prints, and individuals looking to commission photography.

The visual nature of the work also required a platform that would resonate with viewers browsing from mobile devices and social media referrals.

Strategy Overview

The strategy focused on allowing the photography to take centre stage while maintaining a structured and intuitive browsing experience.

Large immersive imagery was prioritised throughout the design to allow each photograph space to breathe while guiding visitors naturally through the galleries and service offerings.

The website structure was built to support both storytelling and discoverability, incorporating search engine optimisation to improve visibility for West Coast photography searches and ensuring the site performed smoothly across desktop and mobile devices.

Clear navigation and enquiry pathways were integrated so visitors can easily connect with the photographer for collaborations, prints, or commissioned work.
