10 Best Photography WordPress Themes

Hey, are you looking for the best Photography WordPress Themes your photography portfolio? Then you’ve come to the right place. Today, we’re going to talk about some awesome photography WordPress themes that you can use to create a stunning website. All these themes are easy to use and have tons of features to showcase your work in a unique way.

But first, let us go over the features that are essential for a photography website. First of all, loading time. Because a photography website is destined to have tons of photos on it and if the theme doesn’t support fast-loading, your website is going to be a complete mess. Then there is the portfolio section. The core reason for your making such a website is to showcase how great your works are. And a great showcase demands an even greater presentation. There are a couple of others though but I personally focus more on these two factors. And now that we’re clear on this, let’s move on to my list of best photography WordPress themes.

First on our list is Photographer WordPress theme. It has a minimalistic and distraction free design. It offers image viewing experience on any device with zoomable images. The home page offers 8 different layouts. You can have photowall, photowall landing, fast fades, video background, slides, ken burns slider, thumbnail slider, and single image effects on your home page. Then comes the work tab under which you will find gallery with zoom, gallery without zoom, simple gallery, and photo gallery 3. The blog section has 3 different layouts too. You can have a simple blog, a blog category, or a blog with sidebar layout to attract your readers more. The about section comes with typography and lots of shortcodes. It incorporates tabs, toggle, accordion, alerts, social icons, and different button styles. This theme also incorporates a shop button and a cart. So no matter whether you are a professional photographer or just a hobbyist, with Photographer wordpress theme, you can create a sleek and composite website for your business.

In at number two, we have Blacksilver. Now, what attracts me more is that it offers a home page layout with the menu bar placed vertically. That layout is really cool to be used on a website. Moreover, it comes with the Elementor builder so you don’t need to worry about a writing any code. It offers 14 different home page layouts with pages, portfolio, gallery, journal, events, proofing, and shop option. The about, services, and contact options are integrated in pages while portfolio and gallery offer a total of 8 layouts to choose from. Journal is simply your blog section with 5 different style options. If you are holding any event, you can showcase and post updates about it in the events section. You can easily manage your clientele with this theme as it has an in-built proofing system with password protection. It supports per page menu, woocommerce, and wpml. You can also prevent people from unethically download and use your images by disabling the right click option with a customized message.

The thing I want to mention, you can sell your photos on your site with WooCommerce eCommerce system with price variation options.

There are blog, shop, services, about, and many more. The blog section has 4 styles – grid (with or without sidebar), horizontal (with or without sidebar), masonry, and password protected. But what attracted me most in this theme are the ‘coming soon’ and ‘404’ pages. The ‘booking’ option might come in pretty handy if you are planning a photo exhibition. The menu option and navigation styles give you lots of freedom to customize your website according to your taste. And guess what, visual composer is built-in so you don’t need to purchase any other builder.

Number 4 on today’s list is Wiso. It’s fresh, custom-coded, and holds almost all the things you are going to need. To start with, it has 34 ready home page demos.
