About The Client

Atort Photography is the practice of Oahu, Hawaii-based photographer Anthony Tortoriello. The company operates a website, which is the main retail outlet for Anthony's fine art prints and other products. In January 2016, Anthony started offering instructional photography tours and asked me to set up a basic web page to provide information about the service.

Project Overview

The client contacted me and requested help setting up a page for a new product that he was offering through his photography business. In order to save time, I asked him to build it out as far as he could, adding the descriptions that he felt were most relevant, and I would take it to completion for him from there.

Following handoff, I improved the page by:

Overall, the new page is easier to read and understand, elevates the client's brand, looks better overall, and is more effective at driving customer interest and sales.

<h2>Itinerary</h2>
<p>Whether your aim is to experience a photo tour with an emphasis on photography and skills building, or you simply want to make the most of the time on the island and see the best sights, flexibility is always there. From nature to flowers, to sunrises and sunsets at the most pristine beaches; from farmers' markets such as that at <a href="http://www.waimeavalley.net" target="_blank" title="Waimea Valley Farmers Market">Waimea Valley</a> on the fabled North Shore of Oahu; people, turtles, waves...whatever your flavor we can nail it with style and grace! See popular beaches such as Laniakea Beach (AKA "Turtle Beach"), but get more out of your experience through gaining understanding and education about our <em>honu</em> (Hawaiian for "turtles") through the eyes of conservation groups like <a href="http://malamanahonu.org" target="_blank" title="Malama na Honu">Malama na Honu</a>. In the end, you'll gain a deeper experience of the <em>aloha</em> spirit through the understanding and respect that you'll receive on your tour.</p>
<blockquote class="testimonial">“With only 5 days on the island and a lot to do, I didn't want to spin my wheels trying to get great photos. Linking up with Anthony saved me invaluable time. I learned a lot, got the types of shots that I wanted and my photos from my trip were first class. Worth every cent!”<br /><span class="testimonial-author">— Mike, Washington, DC</span></blockquote>
