Portfolio
The work is the page.
A one-page portfolio: large stills, a title, a year, and a sentence. It fits an edit of photographs, and a developer whose proof is a repo with a real description.
What is on the portfolio template preview
Maya Okonkwo is a fictional demo on the Portfolio template. The preview above is that layout. Her headline is Weather, concrete, and the people who wait in both. The bio says she is a photographer working between London and Lagos. These are her blocks, in order: the type, the size when the block sets one, and the heading, caption, or label that is on it.
- text. Heading: Atlantic Edge. The eyebrow is Selected work. The body: cliffs at first light, fog still deciding whether to lift, printed 30×40 on cotton rag. The path is real; I waited for a morning with no hikers.
- image, size full. Caption: Atlantic Edge, 2025. The alt text is mist over coastal cliffs at dawn, a narrow path along the edge.
- text. Heading: Cast Concrete. A stairwell in Peckham that only works for twenty minutes a day, when the sun hits the mid-landing and the dust becomes a second architecture.
- image, size full. Caption: Cast Concrete, 2024. The alt text is sunlight cutting across a brutalist concrete stairwell.
- image, size l. Caption: After Hours, Lagos, 2025. The alt text is a rain-wet night market street with warm stall lights.
- image, size m. Caption: Studio table. The alt text is hands holding a brass rangefinder camera on a wooden table.
- link. Label: Print enquiries. The hint is Limited editions, posted from London.
- instagram. Label: Process, not a feed of everything. The handle is @mayaokonkwo.
Text, the link, and the Instagram block do not set a size, so none is listed. The page is that sequence, then a way to write.

What a SayHi portfolio is not
It is not a theme with twelve case-study templates and a blog. It is not a PDF. It is a public page that can live at sayhi.page/maya and still look like the person who made the pictures.
Templates
Can a one-page portfolio be enough?
For most independent photographers, designers, and developers, yes. A stranger wants to see the work, a sentence about you, and a way to write. Extra pages can wait.
Do you host the images?
Yes. You upload images in the studio and the page serves them. Demo pictures ship with SayHi. An image URL from another website is not accepted.
