TeddyVisuals

Photography and videography portfolio platform built for a creative studio. Features a dynamic portfolio gallery organised by category — weddings, portraits, events, and commercial shoots — with full-screen image viewers and embedded video support. Includes a services page, about section, booking inquiry form, and a content-managed hero section. The admin panel lets the studio owner upload new work, reorder galleries, toggle active categories, and update site-wide settings without touching code.

TeddyVisuals is a full-stack Django web application built for a professional photography and videography studio. The site serves as both a public portfolio and a lightweight CMS, giving the studio owner complete control over their online presence without requiring any technical knowledge.
