(posted 8456 days ago)If I appeared "dismissive" earlier it was because I didn't have the further information from the rest of his site (which is not linked from his portfolio). It was just my initial impression based only on looking at his portfolio.
With the additional information provided by his website (that "backstage" page was particularly useful) and by his posting, I have gained an enormous amount of respect for Mr. Perfido-- he is a "natural" and has a tremendous gift (as well a particularly dedicated group of friends for models, assistants, and makeup artists-- we should all be so lucky).
About the side-scrolling portfolio-- I have no problems with it at all. I agree that clicking the little arrows on the bottom of the scrollbar would be tedious versus a scrollwheel, but I find the best way to traverse horizontal pages is to just grab the scroll widget iteslf and drag to the right a page or so at a time, never letting go of the mouse button. It's much less click-intensive process and is much more fluid-- almost tactile.
I think I agree with Edward-- I'm definitely going to raid Eolo's bag of tricks (lighting-wise, anyhow) over the next year, and no, it doesn't make you (or me) lame. :)
