Editorial Image Gallery with Scroll-Choreographed Reveals

What this builds

A long-form editorial image gallery where photographs are revealed through considered scroll-driven choreography rather than appearing all at once. Each image or image group enters the viewport with a distinct reveal treatment: clip-path wipes, scale transitions, parallax depth offsets, or grid stagger sequences. The gallery reads as a curated visual narrative, not a lazy-loaded grid.

• Multiple reveal treatments across the gallery: no two consecutive images use the same reveal
• Clip-path wipe reveals (directional, circular, diagonal) driven by scroll progress
• Parallax depth offsets between image layers and caption text
• Staggered grid entrances for multi-image groups (2-4 images entering with cascading delays)
• Pinned crossfade sequences where images dissolve into each other during a scroll hold
• Caption reveals timed to follow their parent image by 150-300ms
• Act structure: hero image, editorial grid, feature image (pinned), closing grid
• prefers-reduced-motion: all images visible statically, no clip/transform animations
