Today we’d like to share an idea for a photography website layout with you. The concept is based on a slider of several photo stacks using Flickity and once a stack is opened, it slides up and reveals its content. The background image will react to the mouse movement, creating a tilt-like motion illusion inspired by the effect seen on The DNA project, the interactive album site by j.viewz. Once a stack is opened, the background image will transform into a small, logo-like circle and move up. This effect is inspired by Alexey Oksanchenko’s animated Dribbble shot of a profile image animation.

Have look at some screenshots. This is the initial view with the photo stacks shown as a slider. The slider will be shown after all images are loaded.
When moving the mouse, a semi-transparent copy of the background image will tilt according to the mouse position, creating a fun effect:
When a stack is opened, the content shows by sliding up all items with a subtle transition:

We really hope you enjoy this layout and find it inspiring.
