BUILDING YOUR OWN CORNER OF THE INTERNET

^{FEBRUARY 14TH  2026}

           <sup>I recently found my website listed on We Do Art’s Top 100 Websites in Art, Design & Culture 2025

It’s meaningful to see something you’ve built and maintained acknowledged. I’ve been designing and refining my own websites for a long time. Earlier versions were simple and very much a product of its time. Since then, my site has evolved alongside my work, changing in layout and perspective as the work itself changed.

The recognition feels less like a trophy and more like confirmation that the time spent shaping it mattered. Not just the photographs, but how they are presented.

As photographers and artists, we focus on making the work. But how it lives online matters just as much. A website is more than a portfolio. It provides context and pacing. It is the one place not dictated by an algorithm or someone else’s priorities.

Social platforms shift constantly. Your website is the space you control. It is where serious clients look and where your archive lives.

If you’re an artist, invest in your own space online. Maintain it. Let it evolve with you.

Recognition is nice. Ownership is better.
