WPHOTOGRAPHS V redesign is live.

This update refines the gallery into a cleaner, more focused browsing experience across home and series pages. The homepage now uses a simpler preview-first layout with larger collection cards, improved typography, cleaner spacing, and stronger light/dark mode presentation.
