About Us
Our Mission
Photon exists for people who see the world in frames and light. We curate photography that feels alive – from quiet landscapes and architectural details to intimate portraits and vibrant street moments. Our goal is to make discovering great images as simple and delightful as scrolling a well‑designed gallery.
Behind every collection there is a small team carefully selecting images, organizing them into meaningful themes and polishing the viewing experience so it feels fast, focused and distraction‑free. Whether you are looking for inspiration, references for a project or just something beautiful for your screen, Photon is designed to stay out of the way and let the images speak.
Jean Smith · Creative Director
Jean leads the visual direction of Photon. With a background in editorial photography and art direction, she focuses on how each collection feels as a whole – color, rhythm and narrative. She is the one obsessing over which hero image appears first and how every scroll feels intentional.
Claire Smith · Product & Experience
Claire designs how people move through Photon – from the first visit on the homepage to deep dives into specific categories. She cares about small but important details: clear navigation, fast search, thoughtful empty states and subtle animations that make the interface feel alive without getting in the way.
John Smith · Engineering
John takes care of the performance and technical foundation of Photon. He integrates the Unsplash API, tunes loading strategies, and ensures that images look crisp on any device without sacrificing speed. When everything feels smooth and instant, that is usually John’s work behind the scenes.
