When Louis Paul Miller left his job as an interactive art director, the last thing he wanted to do was put up a site for himself. He was burned out on interactive work and wanted to turn his attention back to print. But in the midst of making the move to freelance, he knew a personal portfolio was an essential tool to promote himself and get work.

The clean, elegant site features a rotating selection of Miller’s own photography. He gave the cold shoulder to bells and whistles in favor of a format that gets users to the work quickly. While he doesn’t believe the web is the best environment to view print samples, he made every effort to show multiple photos of his projects, so they would appear in the context of real environments.

Today Miller works full time for a studio in San Francisco, but his site is still an essential tool for cataloging his independent projects. “It actually helps me get a better understanding of my work as a whole. It organizes my work, and I can look at it myself. It reminds me that I constantly need to move forward,” the designer notes.
