I have two things to say about this site; 1) the photographs are outstanding and 2) the unusual site navigation works surprisingly well. Simon's photos are, in my opinion, very fascinating in themes and really make me think about the situations in which they were taken. The site navigation makes use of js fx that roll out the content and in turn makes you have to scroll vertically to see the photos in each series. This, for some reason, is a very pleasing way to enjoy his photos.

Marius Roosendaal's design portfolio features work he's done over the last few years. What strikes me most about this site, however, is the level of details in the interface. The two themes (night/day) are both superb. This is one of the most striking designs I've seen in a long time. And it's all done so understated.

The portfolio site of contemporary artist & photographer Branislav Kropilak has gone through a realignment as well as having two new sections of work added. The photography work is great and unlike most pretty photography portfolios, the navigation stays in one place within an entire series (i.e. no navigation buttons jumping around all over the screen). I like the fact that it is all aligned to the top left. Kind of retro, really.

Steven Hylands of Northern Ireland has developed and designed a crisp and colorful portfolio site with a clear "CSS-feel" to it, if you understand what I'm saying. It looks and works great for its purpose.

Stockholm-based RBG6 makes some of the most beautiful retro-style video and graphic design work I've seen in a while. The work on display truly stands out in a crowd, and the presentation is quite spiffy, too. Via Computerlove™.

Danish Lars Bech's portfolio is a Flash-folio filled with photographic candy. The prev/next navigation is a bit plain and low on usability for a site like this, but the rest of the presentation is a joy to behold. I love how large type is used.

Suitmen entertainment is a Japan/US based creative agency. Their site is here for three reasons. First of all, it's a beauty. Second, it's making sweet, sweet use of Google Analytics for generating this beauty. Third, and last, there's some great work in their portfolio.

ISO50 is a portfolio is a blog. Scott Hansen just took his portfolio site ISO50 to a whole new level. Perfect designers' blogs seem to be all the rage these days. Keeping it simple, while showing off some of Scott's most breathtaking poster designs in the sidebar seems to be the right recipe for the ISO50 blog. The typography and the colors are all to die for, too.

Kimm Saatvedt is a Norwegian photographer based in Oslo, the city where I'm located as well. Several of the previous installments of his personal portfolio site have been on Styleboost before. The latest version is no different, and definitely deserves a closer look. The all flash interface works well on a 1280 pixel wide screen as well as on my personal setup, a 1920 pixel wide screen, as it scales the work to the screen size. The navigation is simple and easy to use, while at the same time doing it a little bit different from the others. A nice detail to accompany the amazing photos.

Cabedge (not cabbage) is a Nashville based web design & development firm. This site is a treat for the eyes with a lot of attention paid to margins and whitespace. This makes for a relaxed and uncluttered experience. The color palette is wonderful, too, but it's the cleanliness and empty areas that really sells this one to me. Especially on the specific project pages when you're browsing their past work.
