Shotlist — Free Portfolio Template for Framer

Shotlist is a free 2-page portfolio template for Framer, listed without a named author. It is a photographer and cinematographer site built as one long Home scroll (work, services, about, contact) plus a 404. No CMS. Skip it if you need CMS case studies, a Services page, or archives. JORGE ships seven portfolio routes with collections. More options sit in the portfolio shortlist and the free Framer templates hub.

Who should remix Shotlist?

Think of a 24-year-old event and brand photographer who also shoots video, has fifteen real clients, and needs a link for Instagram before the weekend. They do not have time to write case studies. They want a loud name, a clients strip, three services, a handful of projects, and one button that opens a conversation. Shotlist is that brief, and the demo is literally that person.

Walk away if your pitch depends on depth. Each project here is a card on the Home page, not its own URL, so there is nowhere to tell a longer story. Studios and designers with case studies should start with JORGE. If you want a short portfolio with a separate Work page, Sequence is the other two-route file.

What Shotlist looks like

The palette is warm off-white and charcoal with one rust-orange accent on the logo and the star ratings. A huge outlined first name sits behind a full-bleed photo, and the headline, set in a clean geometric sans, reads like a mission statement. A small card in the corner rotates through service lines. The feel is closer to a modern studio site than a dark gallery, with a bit of Arc-style friendliness in the rounded pills.

That warmth works for people who sell events, hospitality, and food, where clients want to feel at ease before they hire. It makes a poor fit for noir film work or fine art. The fight is the demo itself: a bright, sun-lit travel look. Swap the hero and the orange, or it will keep whispering “Mumbai lifestyle photographer.”

Pages included in Shotlist

• Home: everything. A preloader counter, the hero, a “worked with” client strip, services, selected work, about, and a contact call to action
• 404: a branded dead end so a mistyped link does not break the mood

Two routes is not a sitemap, it is a decision. The navigation (Work, Services, About, Contact) jumps to sections of the Home page.

What is distinctive about Shotlist

• Local time and date in the header. A live clock and date sit beside the menu. Clients see you are real and in a timezone, which suits freelancers who shoot across cities.
• Preloader counter. A 0 to 100 count before the hero appears. It adds drama and costs a few seconds, so keep it only if the photos justify it.
• Client strip with star rating. “Trusted by 15+ brands” and a row of logos put proof in the first screen.
• Service carousel in the hero. Photography, Cinematography, and Live events each get a one-line promise, so you can sell three skills without three pages.
• Selected Work cards with category, year, and tags. Enough context for a project to feel like a credential.

When to remix Shotlist, and when to skip

Remix Shotlist when you need to go live this week and your portfolio is a dozen strong images and a few clients. It does one job. No creator is named, so judge it by the demo, which is polished and confident.

Skip it if you need CMS case studies, a Services page, or archives. That is JORGE. Want more ideas first? Go back to the portfolio shortlist or the free Framer templates hub.
