Somewhat of a trend which has become popular with the web design industry is the use of personal photography. There are many industries that heavily rely on use of photography, what makes it interesting is when the website uses photography which portrays the individual’s work, personality and aids to the design creatively.

Musicians

Musicians tend to highlight their name as well as their photos, reinforcing the recognition they already have, and in some cases want to achieve. It can be said that sometimes the website design and look and feel of the website also reflects the genre of music, this however depends on the artist.

Models

The modelling industry is similar to the acting industry where “looks” and talent can open many doors. With regards to websites it can be difficult to find the right kind of photography to portray the individual. It can also be seen that some models use their website to portray their talent; whereas others choose to portray themselves as the person they are, not necessarily involving the working industry they are a part of.
