YOKAI

An atmospheric portfolio and service website for Zagreb event photographer Ivana Radić, built around the energy of live rooms.

YOKAI turns the feeling of being inside a concert, club night or cultural event into a focused digital identity — cinematic enough to carry the work and practical enough to support real client decisions.

Challenge

The website needed to preserve the tension, colour and movement of low-light photography while making services, selected work and the inquiry path immediately understandable. Image-heavy pages also had to stay fast and accessible across devices.

Approach

Full-bleed imagery and restrained typography establish the visual voice. Dedicated paths for events, music and nightlife, and brands and culture add commercial clarity around the portfolio. Selected works, about and contact pages complete the experience, supported by optimised responsive media, descriptive alt text, static Astro delivery and a local content admin.

Outcome

The result balances atmosphere with utility: a coherent, fast and search-readable website that presents Ivana's authorship while showing clients exactly how the work can serve press, social, campaigns, recaps and image libraries.
