Image curtain for Elementor — an image splits and draws back as the section scrolls in, revealing what sits beneath.
A two-room studio on Hewitt Street. We shoot people — for record sleeves, for casting, and for the twelve families a year who come back every autumn.
We shoot medium format film alongside digital because the film slows everybody down, including us. You leave with a contact sheet the same evening and the finished edit ten days later.
Eleven of them are on the wall in the front room, which is the only ranking that has ever mattered here. The other eighty-three are in the drawer and you are welcome to ask.
No package upgrades on the day and no print-sales pressure at the viewing. What you booked is what happens.
Two rooms above a print shop. The front room has eleven-foot windows facing north, which is the entire reason we signed the lease. The back room is seamless paper, strobe and a rail of things people have left behind.
Two days, nine artists, one roll each, and a rule that nobody was allowed to stand against the seamless. Spindle used fourteen of the frames across the campaign and put two of them on the sleeve.
Sittings run Tuesday to Saturday. Weekends book about six weeks out; a Tuesday morning is usually free next week.

On the Style tab of an Elementor Container. Sky Addons for Elementor adds it as a panel section, so the container you already built becomes the stage: pick a gallery, give the container a height, and the image strip is injected behind whatever content is already inside it.
Inside the same container, as ordinary Elementor widgets. The extension owns nothing but the image strip — that is injected behind your content, opens from the centre outward, drops out of frame, and your heading and button then rise into the cleared space. Style them with the normal controls.
An odd number, and seven to eleven works best. The strip is one column per image, so an odd count gives a single tallest image at the centre of the arc. Image Size defaults to Large, which is plenty, because each image renders as a narrow column rather than full width.
No. Image Curtain is a Sky Addons Pro module and runs on a free Elementor container. Its GSAP dependency ships with the plugin, and the critical closed-state rule is printed inline rather than loaded as a stylesheet, so the page makes no extra request for it.
The edit canvas deliberately shows the strip already open, so you can position the heading and button against it. The opening and the drop run on the front end. Preview the page to watch the full sequence, then come back to the canvas to lay the content out.
The container shows normally. A noscript rule unhides the content, so a visitor without JavaScript sees the heading, the button and everything else rather than an empty section. That matters here, because a curtain container is usually the first thing on the page.
Three modes. Play once when scrolled into view is the default. Play once on page load suits a container sitting at the very top of the page, where the animation would otherwise finish unseen. Replay every time it scrolls back re-runs the whole sequence on each return.
Two sliders set the arc: Tallest Image at the centre, 92 percent by default, and Shortest Image at the edges, 33 percent. Heights fade evenly between them, and setting both to the same value gives a flat strip rather than an arc. Gap and Corner Radius handle the rest.
Drop Distance is too low. It is how far the strip falls as a share of the container height, so around 45 percent leaves the images cropped along the bottom edge on purpose, and anything past 80 percent takes them out of sight entirely.
Yes. When the visitor system asks for reduced motion, the sequence is skipped and the container renders straight into its finished state with the content in place. The same path is used inside the editor, so nobody is left looking at a section that never opens.
