Understood on the first point. My suggestion was for the user flow to go from the homepage grid to a modal gallery with the enlarged image, where the viewer can explore the artist's work without leaving the homepage. This gives the user the option to exit out of the modal to browse other photographers, or continue on to the photographer's page via a link from the modal gallery.
