Web Page German Photo Agency beta release

First beta release of the web page for VISUM FOTO GmbH, one of the big German photo agencies. We decided to realise the site with Drupal after using it for an other big web site re launch this year.

Special about the site are the different approaches on handling images and the photographer profiles. We had to handle pictures how come from an other database and pictures the users (photographers) up load. Basically we are using image, image_import and image_field for CCK.

Images from the other database are imported with image_import and we changed it so that it reads the exif data to the node body. The image display is done with a customized version of the image_gallery module
we included an list view and a table view in the gallery and printed the description of the gallery under the pictures. Finally we made a back button for the gallery_module.

The user profiles are done with a custom module. Each user has three independent sites of his profile. One for images, one for his biography and one for publications. To access his site he has to log in and then he has an menu at his profile under the main links >>Portfolio, >>Biographie, >>Publikationen. He can ad attachments to his profile as pdf and we have a small user search where a client can search a photographer by city and by working area.
