41 Examples of Inspiring Photography Websites

Last Updated January 5 2024

Written By Juhil Mendpara

A good photography website is a showcase for photos. Take inspiration from real-world photo galleries to design your digital photo gallery.

Notice how galleries are uncluttered and how they use whitespace to distinctly display each photo ⁠— replicate that .

More than any other type of website, a photography website should show rather than tell. Actually, to put it more accurately, a photography website should show and then tell if asked (through a click on Learn More link, for example). After all, you still need to share (and potential clients want to know) your story, your approach behind past photography projects, client testimonials, etc.

While a unique look and feel are important, exercise a bit of skepticism about photo galleries that are a little too unusual. For example, photo galleries that scroll horizontally (left to right) are unique but can be difficult for visitors to browse.

Above all else, your website needs to be usable — you don’t want to frustrate your visitors!

So how does a well-designed photography website look like? I went through hundreds of photographers’ websites. Below, I have shared some of the best photography websites for inspiration.

Tip: Use ← and → arrow keys to browse.

‘My First Website’ Challenge

• • Build your first website in one week.
• • One 10-minute lesson per day.
• • Free email course.

1. Scott Snyder

Scott Snyder is a product/object photographer based in Costa Mesa, California. His photography is clean-cut and top-of-the-line quality, as apparent from his minimal photography portfolio .

The professional photographer showcases his best photos with plenty of negative space on the homepage. You can find more about each photography project by clicking on the associated photo: He mentions his roles in the project, what he did to successfully complete the project, about the client, and more for each photo. It’s a lot of (well-written) text, but it follows the “show and then tell” principle I discussed in the intro.

Besides showcasing his work on the homepage, he has a separate Work page where he has displayed more of his works beautifully in a two-column layout.

Even the overall website experience is fantastic. Scott uses easily-readable fonts; the scrolling animations are on point; there’s a small ‘about me’ section; there are appropriately placed CTAs (Contact, Instagram); etc.

2. Almost Real

Almost Real lets you shop for fine art photography from a collective of creatives. It’s a beautiful site with a gallery feel — simple and austere with plenty of whitespaces.

If you plan to sell your photography as a product and not a service, Almost Real is an ecommerce store with a worth-replicating website design.

Important features of the website: All photos (i.e., products) are well-categorized, you can browse a particular artist’s work, you can click on the magnifying glass that appears on hover to see photos closely, etc.

3. Meiwen See

Meiwen is a professional designer and photographer that features travel, people, editorial, and interior photography. He is also a designer, combining his many artistic talents to help his clients with branding, art direction, and more. If you plan on selling other complimentary services alongside your photography business, see Meiwen’s website.

His site is minimalistic. On the homepage, he has gone with two main things: a short bio and his photography and design portfolio with a few featured items. The minimal navigation bar helps visitors find more of his portfolio items, the contact form, or the primary social media profiles (Behance, Instagram, and Pinterest).

Potential clients interested in his photography click on “photographer” from the site title or navigate through the navigation bar. And they find this gorgeous four-column portfolio:

4. Levon Biss

Levon Biss is a photographer in London. He has some authentic and gorgeous work with people, soccer, and insects. His work has been published in TIME magazine, The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, and many other respected international titles.

The website showcases featured photos uniquely yet in an obvious way as far as user experience is concerned. It doesn’t follow a fixed column and an image per column structure. Instead, the designer has fixed the container width and defined whitespace between two images ⁠— in simpler words, if the image fits side-by-side in the defined space, it will enter there; otherwise, it will go below.

Besides, the menu on the left side looks natural for navigation of other important pages. It hides all the menu items behind the icon, which is not ideal for desktop sites. However, it works beautifully in this case because Levon gets to showcase his work in a full-screen gallery.

Note : Levon also has a Shopify store on a different domain, where he sells his photos. He could have chosen Squarespace Ecommerce to sell on the same website, but he didn’t for some reason. See our Shopify vs Squarespace comparison to learn why Squarespace Commerce would have worked.

5. Juno Photo & Film

The website of Juno Photo & Film displays the photographer’s beautiful work nicely. Upon landing, the homepage hero section captivates with a selection of stunning wedding photos. These visuals are complemented by a muted color palette and refined typography, contributing to an elegant aura.

The design leans towards minimalism, ensuring that the photographs remain the focal point.

As you explore, you’ll find a straightforward navigation bar guiding you to various galleries. Each gallery, whether it features weddings, elopements, engagements, or the latest work, showcases the photographer’s knack for capturing moments with precision.

Adding a personal touch, an ‘About’ section delves into Juno’s journey and vision. For those wishing to connect, a user-friendly contact page facilitates easy inquiries. Juno also has a separate “Investment” page listing all his photography and videography packages.

Overall, the website provides an uninterrupted viewing experience on both desktop and mobile. Juno Photo & Film masterfully blends artistic display with user-centric design, making it a worthy wedding photography website to look up to.

Side Note : This website is built using one of our favorite third-party Squarespace photography templates , Apache by Brittamade.

6. Peter McKinnon

Peter McKinnon is a photographer, videographer, and YouTuber from Toronto. His 5 million+ subscribers YouTube channel has some awesome tutorials that help others learn in a fun way. You can also purchase presets and buy gear from him.

His website is more of an influencer’s personal brand website where they sell their merchandise and less of a photography portfolio . You’ll notice how Peter is at the center of the website and not his work.

If you want to build a website for your personal brand and showing photography is secondary, then Peter’s website may be a good inspiration.

7. Andrew Heeley Photography

Andrew Heeley Photography caters to unconventional and alternative weddings. Yet, and smartly so, Andrew has kept the website’s look and feel conventional:

• There’s a big, beautiful hero image.
• The navigation bar is conventionally located, with conventional options (About Me, Portfolio, Pricing, Blog, Contact).
• There are galleries and photos everywhere.
• Testimonials and “Featured On” sections are suitably placed for social proof.

I specifically like two things on this website:

• Aesthetics : Andrew uses a simple, readable font and adds the flair where needed with eye-catching underlines. Also, the website’s color scheme is beautiful — the brown, yellow, and background whitish-yellow colors combine gorgeously.
• Copywriting : The writing on the website (be it the homepage copy or stories on the blog) is straightforward and effective — something his potential clients would enjoy reading and have no difficulty understanding. Example:

All in all, Andrew’s wedding photography website is a solid inspiration for your business site.

8. Sanz Lena Photography

Sanz Lena is a fashion and beauty photographer based in Paris. He has been working since 2012 and has an impressive portfolio. There is also editorial work, still-life, and personal-based work in addition to his main focus.

His website is built using Format, one of the two best website builders for photography portfolios (the other one’s Squarespace ).

The website uses a classic ready-to-use Format template and looks awesome. It defies the “have plenty of whitespace like in photo galleries” rule I mentioned earlier, but it works as the thumbnails contrast each other (Side note: You need to know the rules to break them. )

9. Mel Volkman

This website is the portfolio of Mel Volkman, a fine artist based in Maine. It features a clean and simple design, with a focus on showcasing her work and selling prints.

For the ecommerce store, she uses an Instagram profile-like three-column template. She also showcases her photography in the Journal , where the photos are stacked one below another.

10. Jonathan Gregson

Jonathan has worked with big brands like Heinz, The Coca Cola Company, Amazon, and small businesses like Ginger & White London cafe (whom we featured in our cafe & coffee shops website examples collection) over his 20+ years of professional photography career. You can categorize Jonathan as a food photographer., though he also has other stunning work.

His website is an excellent example of a photography website keeping photos front and center. Though, it could use some whitespace.

This website can be a good inspiration for photographers with huge portfolios (like Jonathan’s). Jonathan showcases thumbnails of different projects at the top. People can click the thumbnails to see all the work of that particular project.

11. Mike Kelley

Mike Kelley is a photographer located in California. You can view his excellent work that is focused on architecture, as well as his love for airplanes. He loves the world of art and design and merging these into his projects.

The website is clean, with the homepage divided into two columns. The main section showcases his works, whereas the left column helps visitors navigate different parts of the website - his work portfolio in a particular sector, the ecommerce store where he sells portraits, the about page, the contact page, etc.

12. Claire Byrne Photography

Claire Byrne Photography offers an enchanting look into wedding moments filled with timeless romance. The website, designed with sophistication, draws visitors in with full-sized images on the homepage. Dreamy hues and a refined font enhance the allure of Claire’s photographic artistry.

Her galleries vividly showcase her ability to capture both candid emotions and scenic beauty. Simple navigation guides visitors through her expansive portfolio, touching testimonials, and comprehensive photography packages. In the ‘About’ section, Claire’s passion for capturing love stories shines.

Overall, the website stands as an invitation to a world where love stories are artfully immortalized, making Claire a prime choice for couples wanting lasting wedding memories.

13. Edzera Gallery

Edzerza Gallery is a Canadian online art gallery that specializes in Inuit art. The website offers a wide range of Inuit art, from traditional carvings and sculptures to contemporary paintings and prints.

The website also features a blog, which offers news and information about Inuit art and culture. In addition, the Edzerza Gallery website provides educational resources, including a glossary of Inuit terms and a brief history of Inuit art.

14. Adrieana Blazin

Adrieana is a photographer raised in New Jersey. She has some sharp and breathtaking images of animals, people, and more. There are a lot of black and whites for a classic yet loud vibe. She also used to be an opera singer and learned a lot about what it meant to succeed from her years in that field.

She uses a slider to show her beautiful photography in the portfolio section. I love the images but am not a fan of the portfolio design choice here. It isn’t bad per se but looks very 2015ish ⁠— but it sure is a way to showcase photography in case you are looking for something that isn’t just photos stacked in columns.

15. Pedro N The World

Pedro moved from Brazil to the USA when he was 22 years old to further his education. His portfolio is an impressive tribute to his imagery skills. He is unique in his images in that they are not just beautiful but soulful and emotional as well.

His portfolio with images in three columns looks like an Instagram profile, which is great because a) it looks beautiful, and b) Instagram would have tested a lot of options and found a three-column design is the best.

16. Haris Nukem

Commercial photographer that provides images that stand for something and accompany important messages. You can check out his “press” tab on the website and see where his images have been featured and read articles about the photographer and his skills.

The horizontally scrolling portfolio looks a bit weird, but you’ll know that it scrolls horizontally anytime you enter the website.

17. Liller Photo

Liller Photo is run by Lauren, who is based out of Chicago. She offers weddings, engagements, family sessions, and more. She has a fun yet soulful vibe and appreciates to her core what she gets to capture. Her Mom being an artist, taught and inspired her to follow her artistic ways.

The website homepage is a simple slideshow of her recent best work. I am not a big fan of sliders, but no one can deny showcasing full-size pictures right at the top will work wonders for a photographer’s website.

18. Lieben Photography

Lieben practices wedding photography, newborns, families, and more. Her gorgeous portraits have been featured in Bridal Magazines for other brides to swoon after. She books up sometimes up to 18 months in advance, so you’ll need to grab her services quickly!

I am not sure, but her beautiful photography might have featured on one of the wedding websites we came across.

19. Brandi Toole

Brandi is based in New York and works as a wedding photographer. What started as a side job as an assistant at a studio, became an eye-opener for her true passion in life. Now 7 years in, she can’t imagine doing anything else but wedding photography.

20. Jessica Chou

Jessica Chou is a photographer serving California. Her work has a documentary vibe to it, and she likes to take a raw approach to her practice. You can find images of some big names within her portrait portfolio.

The site uses a well-built Squarespace photography template that showcases her work in a single-column layout, which makes the photos pop and gives the website a minimal look.

21. Alex Tran Photography

Alex is living in Montreal and providing photography services, including headshots and editorial work.

The website uses a nice masonry gallery with ample whitespace as borders to display all gorgeous photos.

22. Milkovi

The website for Milkovi features a clean and modern design that is easy to navigate. The home page features a large header image and links to collections. The site has a simple color scheme of white, black, and gray, with accents of green and blue.

23. Carmen Hunter

She is best known for her portraits of famous people, which have earned her a reputation as one of the most skilled portrait photographers in the business.

J. La Plante Photo is a beautiful wedding photography website that mesmerizes visitors with its captivating aesthetics. Specializing in capturing love stories through the lens, this site takes viewers on a visual journey like no other.

The website’s use of parallax scrolling creates a stunning effect, immersing visitors in a dreamlike ambiance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do i need a website for my photography.

Yes, you need a website for your photography business. It acts as a center for people interested in your services. They'll visit it to see your previous works, know about you, read testimonials, etc.

Which is the best website builder for photographers?

I recommend you use either Squarespace or Format for photography portfolios . For an overall photography website that will have a blog, a store, etc., Squarespace is the best choice.

What about photography website builders?

Niche photography website builders like Pixpa, Cargo Collective, and SmugMug can do a great job of showcasing photos and be cheaper, but a general-purpose website builder (that also has everything a photography website needs) like Squarespace is recommended for its range of features and scalability options.

How do I create my own photography website?

Use a website builder like Squarespace or Format. They have gorgeous templates to showcase photography in the best light -- you can choose one of those templates, make a couple of changes, and create your photography website.

What should a photography website include?

Must have: A typical photography website includes the photographer's best work, an about section, and a contact form or contact details. Can have: You can (and should) add other things like testimonials, social media feed, print store, blog, etc.

How many photos should a photography website have?

You don't want to confuse the visitor or have them just scroll through your mesmerizing photos, so do not add more photos than necessary to showcase your skill. Remember: Less is more. If you have a large portfolio, it's best to display your work in a funnel. First, show thumbnails of featured projects at the top and then show more photos of each project if the visitor clicks the thumbnail.

25 Great Examples of Photography Websites

All of these websites for photographers were built using Pixpa and its photography website templates . Notice how photographers in different genres have selected templates that highlight their photography style and meet their business goals.

Wedding Photography Websites

The portfolio website of a wedding photographer is their primary sales tool.

Like all portfolios, it needs to showcase your talent. But more importantly, it needs to communicate to potential clients precisely what they’d get if they booked you.

Many wedding photographers like to include a sample gallery that shows a wide range of shots captured during a typical wedding ceremony.

Another handy tool for wedding photographers is Client Galleries by Pixpa. These allow your clients to view and proof their images and order prints or downloads.

Some businesses have a full e-commerce solution that takes bookings and handles payments, while others keep it simple with a photo gallery and basic contact information.

Here are some great examples of wedding photography websites.

William Lambelet

Lambelet is an award-winning photojournalist and wedding photographer from France. He travels worldwide to capture amazing moments at all types of wedding ceremonies.

His website is minimalistic and simple. There are slideshows of his best works, and albums load in the same photo-centric format. This showcases what makes his site one of the best photographer websites. Note that Lambelet keeps a separate site on a different domain for his work as a photojournalist.

This is an inspiring website for photographers who are starting out.

Andrew Guy Studio

Guy’s wedding photography portfolio website is eye-catching and effective. Color and black and white photos of different orientations are shown in a collage-style gallery.

Larger photos can be viewed by clicking each image, which opens a slideshow viewer. Guy only includes his best work and doesn’t overcomplicate his portfolio with too many categories or choices. He has a simple FAQ page and a contact form.

Drew Makenzi Photography

Here’s one of the many popular photography websites to take inspiration from.

Makenzi uses a more complex site that feels more e-commerce based than a portfolio. But it’s full of gorgeous images, with a full-screen slideshow taking up the landing page. Below the fold, you’ll see the quick bio of Makenzi and gallery choices for each of her specialties.

Portrait Photography Portfolio Websites

Portrait portfolios are similar to wedding photography websites: you aren’t just showcasing your best work – you’re trying to land new clients.

Your Answers

Since all photographers have a distinctive style and specialize in different types of portraiture, you need to curate your albums to clarify what your clients get from you.

This isn’t to say that you should feel limited. Most portrait photographers have a favorite field, but it might not be their primary money-maker. Include multiple galleries on your site so that the right client connects with the right images to make the sale.

Here are a few sites to visit and get awesome photography website ideas.

Knolton Photography Co.

If you are looking for photography website examples for inspiration, this is worth checking out.

Knolton’s landing page has a unique twist. Their large banner image features four of their best portraits, framed on the wall above a comfortable bench seat. His photographer website is a great place to find inspiration for your own photography projects.

The result is a little more personal and puts the product into clear perspective. Lower on the page, you’ll find individual galleries for their target markets – weddings, seniors, families, and sports. Lastly, there’s a quick-and-easy contact form.

Olga Miljko

Miljko is a Miami-based fashion and portrait photographer who has done projects for Chanel, Ritique, and Katana swimwear. Her galleries are divided into her focus areas, and project requests link to a calendar for booking or quotes.

The portfolio is collage-style, with large striking images showing her talent and specialties.

Josh Loves Light

Josh is a commercial portrait and brand strategy photographer from California. Since his business is structured a little differently than other photographers, so is his website.

His home page features a scrolling gallery of his best images. In addition, links take you to portraits and individual “Featured Clients” pages. Likewise, a “Projects” page links to photo sets based on specific photo shoots and objectives.

Studio J Photo Group

Studio J focuses on headshots and event photos in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Their website makes an impression with their best work, which is a powerful marketing tool since this is exactly the impression you want to make if you’re in the market for a good headshot. Headshots have a horizontal-scrolling gallery bar with a highlight focus effect.

Abstractt Studios

Nitin Patel of Abstractt Studios is a portrait, film, fashion, and theater photographer from India. His site is striking in that it is mostly black and white images and mostly presented in symmetrical squares.

The tidiness and order compliment the complex and deep portrait style. Color images are used but are carefully grouped in the layout to not ruin the balance of the website as a whole.

Family Photography Websites

Many wedding and portrait photographers also shoot families, but these are different sorts of shoots. If family pictures are part of your business, dedicate an album to showing them. A family photography album includes big families and lots of kid shots.

There are often lifestyle shots as well, something that highlights the group’s common interests.

Even family photography can be segmented, of course. Maternity, newborn, newlywed, and kid photos are all unique subsets.

Consider dividing your portfolio to include lots of variety so that clients can imagine what their final images would look like. Here are wedding photographers’ websites to get inspiration.

Organic Aperture Photography

Organic Aperture Photography of Lubbock, Texas, specializes in portraits. Their galleries highlight their primary markets – seniors, families, pets, couples, and weddings.

The website is e-commerce centric, with purchase options for one, two, or three-hour sessions and prints right on the website. The portfolio section is a gallery view of color images. The website also links to client galleries, each locked for client privacy.

RedC Photography

RedC is the brainchild of Maurice Redrick of San Antonio, Texas . His tagline is fun, natural, and understated – all qualities that shine through on his professional photography website.

His work includes portraits, sports, headshots, and newborn photography. His galleries are divided into his target groups and curated with his best images.

Rose Boutique Photography

Rose Boutique is a full-service photography studio located in Chicago. Their site is divided into business branding, family photography, and milestones. Their story-driven style is evident in every step of their website. Photos are grouped into sets for the impact of the story.

Lifestyle Photos – Best Photography Websites

Lifestyle photography is a blend of portraiture and commercial photography. It can also be an editorial, like a magazine or photojournalistic endeavor.

Every lifestyle photographer has a little bit of a different take on what they’re after, so each one has unique needs from their portfolio.

Many times photographers will want to combine lifestyle photography with other genres. It’s important to keep in mind how your customers will be searching to find you – will they be looking for a lifestyle photographer, or are they more likely to be looking for portraits or weddings?

Don’t overlook the most common names for what you do, and then get descriptive from there.

Christopher D. Bates

Bates toes the line between commercial brand-building photography and lifestyle shoots.

He not only includes galleries of spectacular images on his page but also has pages dedicated to the services he offers and who would be interested.

His galleries are equally divided between lifestyle and editorial shoots, but the quality of his storytelling is apparent in both.

Miranda Mazza

Mazza is based in Texas and specializes in lifestyle portraiture. Her galleries feature fewer images that are presented bigger than most.

Her outdoor settings compliment the organic nature of her photography, as does the scrolling gallery style of the website.

Monica Christensen Photography

Christensen is a lifestyle photographer from Michigan. Her site has personal touches you don’t see in many photo portfolios. For example, a large part of the home page is dedicated to a personal welcome message.

Below the fold are links to booking a session, features work, and more about her. Of course, there’s also a quick contact form. Her portfolio consists of open galleries from her best shoots.

This technique works well to show what a family lifestyle shoot looks like – a collection of pictures that work together as a set.

Fine Art Inspirational Photography Websites

Fine art portfolios are much less commercial than other types of photo websites. These images are likely divided into projects or sets, where the photos’ purpose is to tell a complete story.

Another thing to keep in mind with fine art websites is the look and feel of the website. The backgrounds should complement the photography. A plain black or white background is usually best, especially if you’re using black and white photography.

Yanagi is a Japanese fine art photographer based in Tokyo. Her work is black and white and spans from “Sha-Bokusho,” the three-dimensional expression in ink, to nudes and still lifes.

For a photography website, the portfolio is simple – four galleries accessed from the home page. Each gallery is dedicated to a particular photo project or set.

Tyler Grace

Grace is a conceptual artist from Australia . His work is described as cinematic, dark, and thought-provoking. His website is too, with dark background colors that add to the tone of the imagery.

The home gallery features a set of his best and most memorable works, while individual project galleries add an artist’s brief.

Grace keeps a separate web portfolio site for his fashion portrait and commercial photography business since these have different audiences.

If you like to be inspired by eye-catching and unique photos, this is one of the best photographer websites to keep an eye out for.

Commercial Photography Portfolio Websites

Commercial photographers are usually booked for a project, so this is a good way to organize your portfolio. By showing the variety of images you can create on one topic, you give your potential clients an idea of the package you could create for them.

All clients like some choice, so you want to prove you aren’t a one-shot wonder.

Some photographers create a main gallery with a mix of their best photos. This catches the eye and gets customers to investigate deeper.

Then, there are separate galleries dedicated to each project, so they can get an in-depth look at the detail and organization you could bring to their job.

André Ormset

Ormset is a photographer and digital artist from Norway.

His composite photographs are unique and catching. From “Houses in Strange Places” to “Children’s Fantasy,” each gallery on his site highlights one of his favorite projects.

In addition, he has added an “Other Projects” gallery to capture an assortment of great stand-alone images.

Ormset has created the perfect portfolio – somehow, he has perfectly showcased a commercial photographer’s career but maintained the feel of an artist’s portfolio.

Duncan Fenn Photography

If the afterburners of the F-18 fighter jet on the homepage don’t give it away, Fenn is an aircraft photographer. His images are mostly captured at airshows around Australia.

Galleries are divided by airshow and by aircraft type. The site relies on a handful of striking images that fill your screen, while the galleries require scrolling down.

The site is busy overall, but the layout works well and is eye-catching given the subject matter.

Landscape Photography

Landscapes are all about big pictures of big places. A popular technique for organizing a landscape photography portfolio website is to use a large home page image or slideshow to draw a viewer’s attention.

If you’re shooting landscapes, your clients are more likely to be professional photo buyers than consumers. In this case, you can spend less time on the “about me” and more time displaying your best work. Here are photography pages and sites to watch out for in Landscape Photography.

Leroy Souhuwat

Iceland-based Souhuwat’s nature photography is presented in a minimalistic and impactful photography website.

Symmetrical galleries with dark backgrounds highlight his striking compositions.

Beyond one gallery, the website is pretty sparse. There’s an Instagram gallery stripe on the bottom of the homepage, but Souhuwat skips the standard contact form and About Me section.

Travis G. Decker

Decker is a landscape and travel photographer from New Mexico with collections of classic lens photos, landscapes, and specific destinations. His photography website is simple.

The home page features a large, high-resolution version of four of his favorite images in a small slideshow that serves as his introduction. More galleries are found below the fold of the site.

Travel Photography

Travel photography websites share much in common with landscape sites. Many times, travel will be integrated into a gallery with one or more elements, like landscapes or portraits.

Travel photography is a broad category and could include anything from scenic shots to food or even lifestyle.

Marcel Steinegger Photography

Steinegger’s portfolio immediately catches your eye with a full-page slideshow of his best images. A selection highlights each gallery of the site – stars, clouds, beings, black and white, drama, and views.

Clicking each takes you to an individual slideshow. The site avoids the gallery layout, which can feel crowded on a webpage like this. Instead, each image is displayed individually on a black background .

The only other content is a short about me page and a contact form. It’s simple, but it’s still captivating.

MODzent has many galleries, so they’ve cleverly divided their galleries page into subsections based on keywords. The effect is neat for anyone with an extensive photo collection they want to share online.

In travel photography, it would work very well with different destinations. MODzent uses their photography blog with great effect, with a separate blog post highlighting each photo expedition.

Black and White Photography Sites

Artists who work in black and white will undoubtedly understand the importance of elegant and understated web design. The point is to let the work speak for itself without any interference or distraction.

Lola Wajskop

Wajskop is a film photographer with a striking web portfolio. S

he understands the impact of black and white photography, so she has two galleries on her site – one for black and whites and one for color images. Each collection is a simple gallery.

Thomas Striegl

Striegl is an artist through and through, challenging not only your visual senses but also your notions about the terms we use to describe our photography.

He has a home page with a traditional-looking left menu bar. To the right, a large slideshow presentation shows each gallery.

Van Andre Rensburg

Rensburg captures black and white portraits with a fine art aesthetic. There are only two collections: photo and video. The collections are scroll-through galleries of the artist’s best works.

The effect is fluid and works very well – Rensburg obviously spent plenty of time curating the images for the site.

Should Photographers Have a Website?

There are plenty of ways that photographers can share their photos online. While many love sharing them on social services like Instagram, Flickr, or 500px, having your own portfolio site gives you authenticity.

Social sites are marketing opportunities for professionals to help them create a following. But if you’re selling your work, there is an expectation that you’ll have a website.

So does every photographer need a portfolio site? Probably not. Casual weekend hobbyists might be happier to keep it simple and stick to social media or photo-sharing sites.

On the other hand, if you’d like to offer your services or sell your work, having a portfolio is the first step toward making money from your photography.

Best Photography Websites FAQs

How many photos should I put on my photography website?

A photo portfolio should be a collection of your absolute best work. In nearly every instance, your motto should be “less is more.” Every single image should be unique and impactful. Ideally, you only want one picture of each shoot – avoid having multiple images that feature the same scene or model.

There are exceptions, however. For example, a wedding or event photographer might want photo galleries that show what complete sets of photos look like. Likewise, a commercial photographer might want a photo gallery highlighting the final set of iamges they delivered to a client. These would be in addition to the photographer’s primary portfolio gallery.

What should a photography website include?

If you’ve ever wondered what you should put on your photography website, here are the main things.

• Branding – your name, logo, and company colors to make the website your own
• Primary photography portfolio – collection of your absolute best work
• Artist info – a little about yourself and how to get in touch or book a session
• Call To Action (CTA) – contact form or links to your social media

How much does it cost to build a photography website?

The overall cost of a photography website varies depending on how you want to build it and what you want it to be able to do. There are free options, but most of these will be too limited for businesses and photographers with growing portfolios. You’ll find that free options may force you to have ads on the site or limit your SEO options. Many free options are also limited to single-page business listings.

With a hosting provider and a WordPress site, you can get a portfolio setup for very little money – usually less than $10 per month. However, working in WordPress requires a lot of practice, numerous third-party plugins, and a ton of patience to learn how to make it all work.

Website builders like Pixpa can save you a lot of time and aggravation. Pixpa’s pricing plans range from $5 to $25 per month, depending on your required feature set. And building a site on Pixpa, with a range of professionally-designed templates, is easy as pie.

You can also check this list of other great website builders from our friends at Dorik.

How do I create a free photography website?

The exact process you use to make a free photography site will depend on the hosting provider you choose. They all work a little differently, but many have setup videos and training to get you started quickly. Remember that most free sites limit the number of pages you can create or limit your use of features like custom domains and SEO support.

Photographers who are selling their work need the best photography websites they can make. Portfolio sites are simple to make and easy to maintain, but you do have to have your eye on exactly what you want the site to do for you.

From sharing with family and friends to marketing a busy photography business , your photography portfolio can rock on Pixpa. You can try out Pixpa for free and start building your portfolio website right away – tap here to get started today >>

20 Splendid Photography Websites (And How to Build Your Own)

If you’re wondering how to create a photography website that will capture your potential clients’ attention, you’re in the right place.

With over 93% of consumers  using the internet to find local businesses and service providers, it’s one of the best things you can do for your photography business.

But it’s not easy to stand out when there are millions of other photographers promoting their work already. You need the right design and approach.

In this article, we’ll cover over 20 award-winning photography website examples, distill those into a few core lessons, and show you exactly how to create your website step by step.

20 Cutting-Edge Photography Website Examples

Let’s take a closer look at 20 photography websites that exemplify how photographers should position themselves online.

1. Brandi Toole

Brandi Toole  is a wedding photographer from New York, and her website is the perfect example of letting the work speak for itself.

The pictures are front and center, with strictly essential navigation and a sleek, name-only header. The image choices immediately highlight Brandi’s specialty, which is crucial when reaching your target audience.

2. Alessandro Romagnoli

Alessandro Romagnoli  is an Italian fashion and lifestyle photographer. The site highlights his work, with a unique user experience for the portfolio. Hovering over a photo reveals the negative, and you drag pictures diagonally rather than just left or right.

Cole and Jakob, the wedding photography duo at Nordica , use a showreel to entice first-time visitors and potential customers.

Their story page is also inspirational, telling visitors a story of how they came to be.

4. Ruud Luijten

Ruud Luijten  specializes in nature and landscape photography from his home base in Antwerp. His site shows how powerful animations can be when establishing a first impression.

5. Clement Merouani

Clement Merouani  is a photographer and art director based in Paris. He perfectly highlights the type of work he does by showing each project as the cover of a magazine.

This site is another example of how animations can contribute to a unique experience (but only with a fast enough host that doesn’t make their site take forever to load).

6. Lieben Photography

Lieben Photography  is run by a Norwegian wedding photographer who specializes in scenic pre-wedding shoots.

The website’s simple design shows how the most crucial part of any photographer’s web presence is a compelling picture collection.

7. Mack Eveland

Mack Eveland is an editorial photographer based in Austin, Texas. Her site’s front page features an auto-playing full-screen gallery, with a carefully picked selection of shots.

She also highlights the type of photography she does (editorial) and the locations to appeal to potential clients.

8. David William Baum

David William Baum ’s website is an interactive gallery that utilizes lots of white space and an animated interface that can cover different photoshoots.

It’s an inspiring example for photographers who specialize in more than one area of expertise.

9. Dolly Ave

Dolly Ave ’s website is a good lesson in branding power. What a powerful first impression.

The chosen photo highlights the unique style of her shoots. With text, she highlights big brands from past projects.

10. Robert Clark

Robert Clark  is an editorial and advertising photographer based in New York. With the right photos, even a simple grid gallery can deliver a powerful impression.

There’s no better way to showcase your photography portfolio than right on your home page.

11. Ignacio Palacios

Ignacio Palacios is a unique example for travel photographers because he showcases a different branding and business strategy through his website.

Instead of catering to magazines and other potential clients, the website focuses on enticing and teaching beginner photographers, and promoting photography tours.

12. Clara Balzary

A picture is worth a thousand words, especially when it’s a portrait or fashion shoot. Clara Balzary ’s website is a perfect example of this.

It has a contact page with client names, but apart from that, the whole site is a series of pictures.

13. Haris Nukem

Haris Nukem  is a photographer and visual artist based in London, UK, who has no problem conveying his unique style in a single photo.

While you should put your best foot forward on your website, you should never try to hide your style or who you are. Trying to blend in is the easiest way to fail to stand out.

14. Chris Burkard

Chris Burkard  is an explorer and travel photographer who does shoots and trips in very remote locations.

For adventure photography websites, showcasing that you can capture exciting moments is crucial. Chris does this flawlessly with his chosen photo.

15. Andreas Gursky

Andreas Gursky  is a German photographer and artist. Instead of one carefully picked photo, you’ll see a single random selection of his previous works every time you visit the site.

16. Levon Biss

Levon Biss  is a portrait photographer—for both people and bugs—and his website showcases his unique skill set with a varied portfolio.

17. Sarah E

Sarah E  is a Colorado-based wedding photographer with a unique, documentary-inspired style.

While she doesn’t shy away from a perfectly staged shot, like above, her gallery highlights her authenticity.

18. Kristen Mittlestedt

Kristen Mittlestedt  isn’t just another wedding or portrait photographer. Her cinematic style is highlighted everywhere on the website, from the simple scroll gallery to the highlighted pictures.

19. Alexey Titarenko

Alexey Titarenko  is one of the most successful photographers within the modern art scene. His website shows the value of white space.

Your gallery doesn’t need to use jQuery to force everything into a mixed grid. With the right proportions and chosen pictures, you can create an organized and compelling layout with less rigidity.

20. Tim Hawley

Tim Hawley  is a commercial photographer and visual artist. His website shows unique creativity in product photography, highlighting his products in intriguing ways.

By including the logos of the companies he’s worked with, he’s also adding powerful social proof for potential clients.

7 Essential Photography Website Design Principles

If you paid attention to the sites above, you might already have noticed a few of the following founding principles.

1. Let Your Work Speak for Itself

Your pictures should be front and center on your website.

Your image choices should also reflect what services you offer and the type of customer you want.

Bear in mind how Clement, a fashion photographer, highlighted his work with magazine covers or how wedding photographers show unmissable emotional moments from weddings.

2. KISS: Keep It Simple, Silly

Don’t try to create a complicated design to highlight your artistic prowess. As a photographer, the best thing you can do is keep the design sleek and simple.

Stick to a premade template or theme for best results.

3. Use Your “About” Page to Sell the Experience

Your “About” page shouldn’t primarily be about your dog (unless you’re a pet photographer) or your unusual hobbies.

Use it to explain why someone should choose you as their photographer. Show your experience or philosophy about your work, and illustrate what they can expect as clients.

Brandi Toole does a great job here. Her “About” page covers her philosophy and the experience of working with her. Aim to emulate this.

4. Clear Navigation

Keep your navigation menu clear and concise. If users can’t find the page they’re looking for, they will leave your website and never come back.

This example from Nordica highlights the basics: an expandable menu with click links to the “Portfolio,” “Contact,” and “About” pages.

5. Start With the Client

When picking pictures and creating the design for your website, always start with a potential client in mind.

It shouldn’t be about your ego or creative drive, but what resonates with your ideal client.

6. Don’t Try to Reinvent the Wheel

If you’re not a web designer or developer, you shouldn’t try to start from scratch. Instead, rely on existing tools like templates and plugins to help you build the site you need.

7. Make It Easy to Contact You

Consider why you’re creating a website in the first place. To build awareness and get in touch with potential clients, right?

That means that an easy and obvious way for interested users to contact you is essential for success.

You should have at least one of the following methods highlighted on your website:

• Contact form where visitors can reach you
• Phone number (for example, a VoIP redirect number, so you don’t share your private number)
• Booking or call scheduling plugin

Mark Delong ’s website has a good Contact page. It features a contact form, along with numbers to all of the local offices.

Of course, if you’re a one-person shop, you don’t need multiple phone numbers.

How To Create a Photography Website

There are many ways to create a photography website. You can build it with static HTML and CSS, use a free service, or get hosting and build the site using a CMS (Content Management System) .

What Is the Best Way to Build a Photography Website?

For our money, self-hosted WordPress is the best way for a photographer to build a website.

• Full content ownership and control: you maintain full rights to all your content ( unlike a website builder ).
• Usability and features: drag-and-drop content creation, and full customization of your website’s look and experience.
• Extensibility: thousands of plugins (including hundreds of photography-related ones) to help you deliver the experience you want.
• Professional setup for a penny: choose from hundreds of cheap and free professional templates and plugins.
• Better site management: Easy to backup, migrate, and move.

When WordPress powers 40%  of the internet, you know they’re doing something right.

Create Your Site With One Click

Kinsta makes it incredibly easy to create a new WordPress site. In our case, all it takes is a single click to get started.

No complicated manual setup process is required.

Choose from Thousands of Photography Site Templates (WordPress Themes)

There are over 370 free photography themes available in the official WordPress theme directory .

There are also thousands of themes available from third-party websites and developers.

For example, the Fiji II theme  is a great starting point for any photographer. You can change the atmosphere 180° with the pictures you choose to feature.

Start With an Attention-grabbing Homepage

Once you have a theme, it’s time to start creating the actual pages of your website. Begin with the first thing a visitor sees when landing on your site: the homepage .

The homepage should:

• Be eye-catching
• Highlight your primary photography specialization
• Showcase your very best work
• Speak directly to potential clients

To create your first page, click Pages in the menu to expand it, then the Add New link.

You then have to set your homepage in the customizer. Select Appearance > Customize in the menu and click through to homepage settings.

Choose the page you just created and Publish to save the changes.

In WordPress, with a photography theme, you can most likely edit the front page from within the customizer.

In this particular theme, you can edit the settings in the Parallax Template Options .

No matter the type of photography you do, choose your picture carefully, with the intent to grab a potential client’s attention. Be careful that the colors in your menu or headline don’t clash with the photo.

A few wrong moves can lead to the creation of a site that looks unprofessional.

Use a shot with a natural motif that attracts the attention of any visitor. Color the headline or logo to blend with the photo (or any of multiple pictures) you choose.

There’s a reason almost all the photography sites we covered utilize black or white text. The written content isn’t the leading actor in this setting.

3 Essential Pages for Any Photography Site

Next, you want to repeat the process. Create a new page (but skip the homepage settings) for at least three more sections.

• Contact page: This is where visitors (and potential clients) find out how to reach you.
• About page: This is where you highlight your experience and what clients can expect (not your favorite food or color).
• Portfolio or Gallery page: Your portfolio or gallery is where you showcase past work. You can also create multiple pages based on different categories. If your homepage is itself the portfolio, you can skip this.

For an “About Me” page, you can easily use WordPress’ drag-and-drop editor to create the layout you want.

To create a contact page, you’ll need a WordPress contact form plugin . After installing it, you can drop a contact form box in from the editor.

Creating a great-looking portfolio page is a little more complicated, but you can get it done in minutes with the right tools.

Use a Gallery Plugin to Create an Interactive Gallery or Portfolio

Next up, it’s time to complete your photography portfolio website with its most crucial element: the portfolio.

The first step is to carefully select and upload only your best images to include in the gallery or portfolio page.

Then you need to find the right WordPress photo gallery plugin  that meets your specific needs. They will allow you to create flexible, free-flowing grid galleries that showcase your photos in style.

Take Modula , for example. It uses JQuery to create a grid-style gallery that feels alive.

Depending on the plugin, it’ll generate its own page, or you’ll need to copy and paste a shortcode to a Portfolio page that you create.

Don’t Let a Slow Loading Speed Ruin Your First Impression

If you make your visitors wait before you can see the site, they’re more likely to leave instantly (bounce) . If it takes even just five seconds, they’re 90% more likely  to leave.

Photography websites inevitably have a lot of big, rich media files . Low-resolution images don’t deliver anywhere close to the same professional impression. It would be best if you took countermeasures to ensure fast loading speeds. These can include:

• Find a reliable hosting service that knows how to make WordPress run fast, even under heavy loads ( that’s Kinsta’s specialty ).
• Use WordPress Lazy Load  to load visible pictures and video first.
• Pick one of the fastest WordPress themes  available.
• Optimize your images for web and performance.
• Follow our step-by-step guide to speeding up your WordPress site .

The first step is the most important. With an unreliable shared hosting plan , nothing you do will make your website load as quickly as you want.

At Kinsta, speed is a priority. Our custom-made environment runs on lightning-fast Google Cloud VMS. We also use the latest in caching and other performance optimizations to ensure fast speeds.

Creating a photography website is a crucial step toward establishing yourself in your industry and local area.

By learning from the examples above, keeping it simple, and starting with a suitable theme, you can finish a great website and build your online presence in just a few hours.

Take these measures to differentiate yourself from competitors and start landing more clients quickly.

12. Strobist

Flickr is a photography website that probably doesn't need much introduction. It's heyday was in the first decade of the century, when it grew to become a popular photo sharing site with a strong community. However, successive takeovers and changes in policies coupled with the rise of social media mean it's not the site it was. However, it's still a great place to find photos for inspiration. A great feature for beginners is that many images are uploaded with the data on the gear, shutter speed, aperture and ISO used, which can be a good way to learn.

40 Great Photographer Portfolio Websites for Inspiration

April 11, 2020 · Tim Kok

As a photographer, your portfolio website is your business card in the digital world. An online presence is necessary for showing your work to the world and reaching potential clients. That’s why it’s important for every photographer to carefully think about the design and content of their portfolio website.

Here are some tips to consider when designing your online portfolio, followed by a handful of design concepts you could choose for your site. Additionally, check out these helpful tips for TFP photography (“Trade for Prints” or “Time for Prints”). TFP sessions offer a budget-friendly way to network with others, like models, makeup artists, hairstylists, and more, while building your portfolio and benefitting everyone involved.

Portfolio Websites: Tips and Inspiration

• Keep It Simple
• Match the Design to Your Photography
• Be Selective in Choosing Your Work
• Be Easy to Contact
• Follow the Trends in Technology and Web Design

Design Trends for Photography Websites

Hero images.

• Grid-Based Layout

White Space

Personal branding, original design, 1. keep it simple..

A web design based on simplicity allows your work to stand out. It also makes it easy for visitors to navigate your website. While there are plenty of extra features you could add to a website, a simple, intuitive design is ultimately all you need to showcase your work and give visitors a positive experience on your site.

2. Match the design to your photography.

A great website design fits the work of the photographer. For example, travel photographers have online portfolios that exude adventure, while wedding photographers have websites that reflect love and joy.

Even if you specialize in several types of photography, your style will fit certain web designs better than others. If you don’t know what your style or brand is, try to figure that out before you choose a website design. Otherwise, you might spend a lot of time/money on one design, only to realize a couple months later that it doesn’t fit your business or match who you are as a photographer.

3. Be selective in choosing your work.

Your online portfolio should be your “best of,” not “the complete works of,” so be critical when selecting the photos that go on your website. As you create new work, you should update your portfolio regularly. Don’t be afraid to take out photos or experiment with the organization.

When ordering a gallery, a good rule of thumb is to start and end with your best photos, and to keep the middle varied. A visitor should leave with a good impression of your work and want to see more.

4. Be easy to contact.

Have a section dedicated to your contact information, especially if you’re looking for customers. Make it obvious where this section can be found and make the process of contacting you effortless.

Similarly, be sure to include social media on your site. This will give visitors another avenue for following, contacting, and interacting with you. It will also show that you have a strong online presence, which will come across as professional and trustworthy.

Another advantage of social media is that you can show a different side of yourself as a photographer. For example, while your portfolio website could host your professional work, Instagram would be great for more personal photos. This way, you can experiment and share photos that are personally meaningful, while still keeping your website clean and professional.

5. Follow the trends in technology and web design.

If you keep track of the portfolio websites of successful photographers, you will notice that their designs are regularly updated. One reason for these updates is that the idea of what is good design changes over time. Since aesthetics are important for photographers, it’s good to keep up with the general trends in web design. If your website is starting to look dated, it might be time to change its design.

Another reason to update your website’s design is changes in technology. Smartphones and tablets, for example, have changed the way people access websites. Nowadays, if your website’s design is not responsive, you are missing out on an opportunity to show your work to a large group of internet users.

To give you an idea of what’s currently considered great design, here are some design trends to consider for your site, plus photography portfolios that demonstrate each design. As an added bonus, you get to look at some amazing photography!

You don’t have to choose just one of the following design concepts. You can use several of them on the same site. For instance, you can have a landing page with a hero image, but then use a grid layout to showcase individual projects.

Just remember to keep it simple and stay true to your own style. If a trend doesn’t fit your brand, that’s okay! Above all, your site should be authentic and match who you are.

A hero image is a large, high-definition photo that dominates a site’s landing page. Hero images are meant to grab the user’s attention. After the hero image, a user can either scroll down or visit other parts of the website through a menu. As photographers specialize in images, a hero image works well with a photography site.

You should probably pick your most captivating photo for your hero image. It’s also common on photography sites to use a hero slider that cycles through multiple photos. Hero sliders are great for people that have trouble picking their best photo.

Grid-based Layout

A grid-based website design (also called a card-based design or modular design) has been popularized by sites like Pinterest. In a grid design, the content of a website is broken down into individual squares. The shape and sizes of the individual squares can vary to create a more interesting design or a hierarchy in the content.

The advantage of a grid-based design is that it works well as a responsive design. By changing the layout and sizes of the tiles, the design can easily adjust to any screen size. It’s also great way for photographers to showcase a lot of their images at once.

For a truly minimalist design, you can leave a significant amount of white space around your images. This design may seem counterintuitive at first, as it leaves a lot of “empty” space you could otherwise use to display images. However, all that white space will give your website a clean, professional look. It’ll also make your images stand out, framed by white.

In a way, most photography websites are already a form of personal branding. Photography sites generally show the portfolio of one photographer, whose name appears prominently on the website. However, personal branding has become more important for photographers nowadays, which has affected the design and content of their websites. For instance, more sites now show a picture of the photographers themselves.

It’s also common for a photography website to have a personal blogging section. A few photographers even host podcasts, webinars, and advertise master classes on their websites. As a professional photographer, your future work depends on your personal brand. Your website’s design and content forms a large part of that brand.

One consequence of everyone following the same design trends is that a lot of photography websites start to look the same. So, instead of using the same WordPress template as everyone else, some photographers choose an original design. The advantage of a custom design is that your website will stand out. With an original design, it’s also possible to create a unique user experience for website visitors.

If you can’t afford a completely original website design, you can opt for a custom logo instead. A distinct logo can give your website a unique look at a lower price tag. Then, you can download a design theme or template on a site like ThemeForest and insert your logo, giving the template a personal touch. You can also be creative with your typography, thoughtfully choosing a font that fits your brand rather than settling for a typical, standard font.

12 unique examples of photography portfolio websites

You have many options to choose from when putting together your own online photography portfolio website. These 12 websites should spark some inspiration.

Whether you're looking to land new photography clients or showcase your photos, having an online portfolio makes your work accessible to many. We’ve put together a handful of portfolio sites designed specifically for showcasing your amazing work.

As a photographer, it’s important to get the visuals right while establishing your online presence. Having a unique and professional portfolio will make you stand out to potential clients. The only problem? Most website builders out there offer cookie-cutter options — making lots of portfolios look the same.

That’s where a platform like Webflow comes to play. With Webflow you can either design and build an online portfolio from the ground up (without writing code) or start with a template that you can customize every aspect of. From unique animations and interactions to web app-like features, you have the opportunity to make your photography portfolio site stand out from the rest.

So, we put together a few photography portfolio websites that you can use yourself — whether you want to keep them the way they are or completely customize them to your liking.

12 photography portfolio websites to showcase your work

Here are 12 photography portfolio templates you can use with Webflow to create your own personal platform for showing off your work.

The hero section of your online photography portfolio needs to wow someone who lands on it. Jasmine succeeds with a huge hero that lets you put an example of your best work in front of someone right away. From here, clicking on the downward arrow brings you to the next section with ease, as text and images fade in and slide into place. This isn’t the only movement in the design, with a number of cool and tasteful interactions scattered throughout. The visual effects are never jarring or points of distractions. Instead they add subtle movement that guides one to explore the design further.

Often project galleries are a simple grid of photos. There’s nothing wrong with a linear arrangement, but Jasmine staggers their photo project gallery. This simple staggering of images creates a nice visual juxtaposition, making it a bit more interesting than a standard layout.

Whether you’re a fashion, wedding, or travel photographer, or even a digital photographer who shoots for fun on the weekends, Jasmine provides a solid framework to showcase your work all in a responsive design.

If you want to make a big splash with potential clients with only minimal effort, the Prisma photography template gives you everything you need for a hip layout with plenty of visual dazzle. With a multitude of scroll triggered effects, moving text, and other stylized elements, this web design has a wealth of action to catch someone’s eye.

Prisma’s dynamic photography portfolio website is a fully realized web design but still allows for full customization like any other Webflow template. Along with a host of slick elements, it also comes with a style guide. Having all of your CSS styles in one place lets you see how elements like different fonts work together. It gives you the power to experiment and make sitewide changes directly from one page. Those tweaks or changes are much easier to implement when you have a CSS style guide page already set up for you.

With plenty of space to show off your own beautiful photography and a smart contemporary look, Prisma lets you build an online portfolio that’s unique and engaging.

3. Photographos

It’s good to have options. Photographos provides 3 versions of their photography portfolio template, and each has a touch of elegance. You can use the one that showcases your work the best.

There’s a nice push and pull between the more traditional-looking elements like the typography with the more stylized features like the animated effects and interactions. Practicality and suave sophistication come together for a user experience a cut above standard portfolio website designs.

If you’re running a photography business, you want to show people the work that you do — and it needs to be in a professional-looking design. Photographos gives you plenty of space to display your images, in a web layout that communicates to potential clients that you take your work seriously. With a high-class feel, Photographos is perfect for wedding photography, fashion photography, and other professional photographers.

Shots gives you a number of layout options, letting you mix and match whatever you’d like for your own web design. The design offers 2 options for the personal intro section, 4 for the projects page, and 2 choices for additional parts of the design like inner pages and even a photography blog.

All of the options have a minimalist feel, with dark grays, big typography, thick borders, and opportunities to plug your social media accounts. The aesthetic of this web design may be sparse, but it doesn’t feel empty. This stripped-down design removes distractions, making your photography the center of attention.

Another great part of Shots is the use of Webflow’s CMS. Updating your projects can be done through the CMS rather than having to make changes directly on the layout. Making major blocks of your design controllable through Webflow’s CMS is so much easier than messing with them directly on the page. When you don’t have to go in and change the arrangement and spacing of these elements one by one, it saves you time.

And of course there’s the blog. Having dynamic content like a photography blog may also give your website a bit of an SEO boost. Blogging gives you an opportunity to further show potential clients the expertise you have in your craft. And if your creativity also includes writing, it’s a great opportunity to go in and write about something that you’re passionate about.

If you want a no-frills and easy to navigate photography portfolio, Shots strips away the excess, making for a straightforward and practical web design. ‍

Capture opens with a soft fade as one photo gives way to the next. This feature gives you the opportunity to catch the attention of potential clients right away. It’s great for wedding photographers and those who shoot landscapes.

The sectional layout of this design offers a nice structure to fill with your own images and text. With blocks and columns, it’s organized and easy on the eyes to scroll through.

All of the elements come together in a single-page layout, making it easy to get to each section via the top navigation. Users are never taken to another page. Making your content accessible in the least number of steps keeps people’s attention.

Many photographers, web designers, and creatives love the simple elegance of a one-page web design. Capture lets you create the best photography website possible without making things complicated. ‍

With 8 different homepage options and an artiness that permeates throughout every layout, Frame makes for a great online portfolio no matter what type of photographer you are. It’s tasteful, never pushing things too far, but stylized enough for a photography portfolio website that will stand out from those less inspired.

Frame allows you to highlight your beautiful photography and manage it all with Webflow’s CMS. You’ll have control of this content, including ecommerce options for an online store, and the web design also comes with a CMS-driven photography blog built in.

With a long list of features, page layout options, and a hip aesthetic, Frame gives creatives a fully customizable website template to show off their own artistry. ‍

Build and visually design a full portfolio website — completely free. This course covers everything from the basics of grid and flexbox to advanced interactions and accessibility work.

Marlin gives photographers a website template that uses space in a smart way. The organization of the images and content is logical, with plenty of breathing room in the layout.

Though simple, this design transcends being a static assemblage of elements. The stacked card layout gives a hint of depth, and the gradients and the bold call-to-action buttons add enough variety to keep it from being just your run-of-the-mill photography portfolio.

Marlin not only gives you a visually engaging layout, but much of it is under the control of Webflow’s CMS. It includes a few options for setting up your photography project CMS entries, as well as a blog template that makes maintaining all of this content simple.

Here’s the thing. A photography portfolio can be as simple or sophisticated as you’d like. There are no universal guidelines. It all depends on how much time and effort you want to spend building it.

What makes Photo great is that it lets you put your own portfolio website together in a short amount of time. You aren’t bombarded with too many options, and you have the choice between a multipage or single-page layout. Just pick the one that suits your needs and start popping in your own images and content.

With a quick jump down from the landing page, you’re brought to a grid of projects. Carrete wastes no time in presenting visitors with a display of photographic works.

With a gallery, portfolio, about page, services page, and more, Carrete provides a multitude of pages to choose from. You can make your own online portfolio as expansive or compact as you’d like with the layouts provided.

Carrete is another photography portfolio driven by Webflow’s CMS. From individual project pages to the blog, the CMS can be used to update a variety of content, making for an easy way to keep track of and maintain all of your work.

10. Dynamic Studios

Dynamic Studios offers a portfolio website that goes beyond a good-looking design. Along with its clean lines and sharp layout, it’s full of wonderful interactions and effects, giving this design a vibrancy and an energy.

The hero text stays fixed in place as you scroll down, only to disappear as the next block of content moves into place, while various text and images subtly shift and fade. And let’s not forget the parallax layering of elements as you zip through it.

The template organizes the projects by collections in the left-hand navigation, which leads to specific pages with images grouped together. This works great if your work spans different types of photography or if you explore different themes. The collections keep the photography organized and easy to access rather than having it spread across the design.

All of these collection pages are directly controlled by Webflow’s CMS, which saves you from having to rebuild your layout every time you want to add or delete something.

11. Polaris

If you want a design that doesn’t look like everyone else's, you may not have to look any further than the Polaris photography portfolio website template. It stands out with an unorthodox style without sacrificing the user’s experience. This website design demonstrates that you’re not bound to the traditions of unmoving grids of photo galleries. Some of the best websites break free from the confines of what’s expected.

When you first land on the homepage, you see left-aligned text against a gray background. Moving the mouse reveals the background image. This hero image stays fixed in place as you scroll down all of the project entries, with this photo swapping out with another one as you scroll down more.

Like the shutter of a camera clicking away, the website template has a snappy and quick feel to it. There’s never a lull when looking through the content, with plenty of action to keep your attention engaged.

12. Newport

Let’s face it: Not everyone needs a super fancy portfolio website. If you have the confidence that your photos alone are enough to communicate all that you do, a more minimal layout may be a better choice. Newport gives you a bare bones design: Its homepage is a 9-block grid of projects. There’s no wading through complex dropdowns or long blocks of text. It’s all there right there.

All of these featured projects have been set up in Webflow’s CMS. We can’t stress enough how much you’ll appreciate being able to work on your website using Webflow’s CMS rather than having to go in and make changes directly.

If you want to sit down for a couple hours and end up with a solid portfolio, Newport gives you everything you need to get your work out there.

The importance of having a photography portfolio

Wherever you’re at in your pursuit of photography, you need an online portfolio. Sending examples of your work through email attachments isn’t going to cut it. A portfolio shows that you’re a professional, gives potential clients quick access to your work, and lets them return to check it out it whenever they want.

A photography portfolio is never finished — and that’s a good thing. As you get better at the craft of photography, you’re going to want to swap out your old photos with new ones. Webflow makes it easy to make changes to your website so that it will always feature the best examples of your work.

Your photography deserves an audience. If you’ve been putting off creating your own portfolio website, let Webflow put into your hands all of the tools you need to make it happen.

25 Breathtaking Landscape Photography Websites You Need to See

• Judit Ruiz Ricart
• Jun 3, 2019

"To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe." Marilyn vos Savant may not be a photographer, but her wise words can definitely guide your path to success.

Whether you're searching for a new project idea, trying to figure out a new technique, or starting to build your own photography website , the best way to be successful is to observe what others have done.

Take a look at this curated selection of the most outstanding landscape photography websites you can find online. Not only will they fuel your inspiration and wanderlust, they'll also teach you valuable tips to implement on your own website.

Oscar Keserci

A significant part of your business opportunities will come from the Internet. Whether it’s people who have been following your work for a while or someone who just found your website, you should make it as easy as possible for them to reach out to you. Including a contact page on your site will help you make the most out of every opportunity to start a conversation.

Patrick Marson

There’s no question that social media has become a fundamental part of any photographer’s life. Make sure you take full advantage of these tools by keeping the links to your platforms visible at all times on your landscape photography website.

Nathaniel Merz

Creating a professional photographer website is an absolute must if you want people to hire you. While you can advertise these services anywhere, only a website will allow you to explain in complete detail everything that your services entail. Don’t forget to add an FAQ section for those small things that might not be perfectly clear otherwise.

Takahiro Bessho

Most people who reach your website won’t spend time opening every single picture you’re showcasing. This is why large image displays are one of the main photography website design trends . Use full-screen galleries to make the most out of every pixel on your site.

Albert Dros

One of the best ways to master your skills is to see what others are doing. Sharing exclusive landscape photography tips with your site’s guests will give them a highly valuable incentive to visit your portfolio regularly.

Oliver Beneš

Nowadays, pretty much everyone has access to good cameras and the means to easily share their photos online. Because of this, photography has become an incredibly crowded space where it’s hard to make a name for yourself. For emerging photographers, creating their own landscape photography website offers the opportunity to distance themselves from amateurs as they solidify their career in the field.

Mark Norton

You don’t need to have a degree in web design to create a wonderful site to showcase your work. Our broad selection of free photography website templates have been created by professional designers. Each one is fully customizable so you can truly make it yours.

Frans van der Boom

Chances are you upload content to your Instagram every day, or at the very least, far more often than you plan to update your website. To ensure your visitors don’t miss out on your latest projects, add an Instagram Feed to your landscape photography website.

Ole Henrik Skjelstad

As a landscape photographer, you’re most certainly aware of how important it is to find your way around. Since your site’s visitors don’t have access to a compass to guide them through its different pages, pay attention to its UX design and make it as easy to navigate as possible.

Jonathan Zaharek

After putting a fair amount of energy and time on your landscape photography website, the last thing you want is for the task of uploading new images to fall to the bottom of your to-do list. By creating a website that is easy to update , you’ll be able to keep it up to date with minimum impact on your everyday schedule.

Jorge Ruiz Dueso

As a professional photographer , you might struggle to fit all your different areas of expertise on your landscape photography website. The easiest way to do so is to create a main portfolio page that displays different galleries for each of the services you offer.

Lisa Michele Burns

The photography website layout you choose will have a huge impact on the way your work is perceived by visitors. Make sure the type of display you select is in tune with your work, and that the final result feels balanced and doesn’t cut off your pictures.

A handwritten signature is one of those photography logo ideas that never gets old. Put it front and center on your site’s homepage to give it a personal touch and make sure people remember your name.

Pro tip: Something else you can do to position yourself well in the photography world is to make sure you have a logo that represents your brand and attracts new customers. Use a Photography Logo Maker to give you inspiration and to create your own.

Photography quotes are not only a great source of inspiration but also a wonderful addition to any online portfolio. Selecting one that truly reflects your passion for photography will allow visitors to get to know you better in just a few words.

An image might be worth a thousand words, but when it comes to creating a landscape photography website, words can help you stand out from the crowd. Writing a photography blog will make your site incredibly valuable for other photographers and position you as an expert in the field. Use it as a tool to narrate the stories behind the camera, offer guidance for others to follow in your footsteps, or share your goals and motivations.

Society seems to be moving faster and faster every day, and as a result we’re seeing a general move towards minimalist websites, where visitors are not required to navigate through dozens of pages. Creating a one page photography website , or keeping the most valuable information on a single page, can help you keep people’s attention for longer. That way they will walk away with a full understanding of everything you have to offer.

One of the most common portfolio mistakes is choosing quantity over quality. While it’s important that you show the full extent of your skills, the galleries of your landscape photography website should not include more than 20 to 30 images. Otherwise, most people will lose interest before they make it to the end.

Daniel Casson

You only get one chance to make a first impression, so make sure you nail the homepage of your photography website . Its structure should be in sync with the rest of your pages, and the image or images you choose to display should be eye-catching and serve as a perfect summary of your portfolio.

Gavin Brink

Your beautiful landscape photos deserve to be displayed in full screen. Including a slide with your most remarkable work on your home page will offer visitors a clear view of your talent right away.

One of the biggest opportunities building a landscape photography website can offer you is the chance to sell your photos online without having to worry about production or shipping management. Simply add Wix Art Store to your site, select the images you want to offer and which products you want to sell, and start driving people to your very own online store.

John Aavitsland

As nice as letting your work do all the talking might sound, a significant number of those who see your photos will want to learn more about the person behind the camera. Adding an “About Me” page to your landscape photography website is the best way to connect with your audience and offer insights into your creative vision and philosophy.

Daniel Wretham

Even if you update your website regularly, the newest images might get lost through galleries and other projects. The best way to ensure your most recent work always gets the recognition it deserves is to create a gallery dedicated to them. While visitors might not regularly check all your galleries in search of new photos, they’ll be sure to check what you’ve been up to if they can access it easily.

Rach Stewart

Unlike social media, having a website makes it possible for people to find you online through searches related to what you do and where you’re from rather than just your name. Add a photography services page to your site and maximize your chances to be hired by those who fall in love with your work.

Jelle Canipel

Reaching out to brands as a photographer is one of the best ways to get your name out there while expanding your portfolio. If that’s something you are already doing, don’t forget to add a section to your website displaying the brands with which you’ve worked with. This can help you open many more doors, as well as serving as a seal of approval for your portfolio.

Roberto Vámos

When it comes to choosing a color scheme for your photography website , the most important thing to take into consideration is whether your selection is in tune with your images. Just like you wouldn’t put a neon pink frame on the Mona Lisa, extend the same respect to your own work.

Best teacher appreciation week gift it depends on who you are.

• Share to Facebook

• Share to Linkedin

This year, it's May 6-10

Every year in the first full week of May, the National PTA leads a celebration of National Teacher Appreciation Week. This year the theme is “Teachers are Shining Stars .” Their website even offers some tools and ideas for showing teacher appreciation. Of course, there are also numerous businesses out there with lists of assorted nick knacks and tchotchkes that you can buy for the teacher of your choice.

What’s the best teacher appreciation gift? That depends on who you are.

If you intend to show appreciation to someone who was your teacher, the best choice is a personal note.

A simple expression of thanks and appreciation from a student is, for a teacher, worth its weight in gold. And it is never, ever too late to send it. Uncounted teachers have folders or files filled with such letters. For teachers, positive notes from students you taught years ago are uplifting because it affirms that some of your work was carried out into the world, which is a teacher’s dream.

Again, a personal note is much appreciated (and it’s cheaper than a plant).

Parents can also reach out to find out what classroom supplies that teacher can use. It’s a well-worn truism that teachers spend plenty of their own money on classroom supplies for their students. Some help with everything from tissues to pencils can be a help, not just financially, but in terms of items teachers can cross off their “to-do” lists.

Administrators

A mug or mousepad is better than nothing at all, but when you ask teachers what they want from administrators, there are other things they’d appreciate .

Include teachers in education decisions in the district. Give them time and space to collaborate with each other. Treat them like grown up professionals. Grant them more autonomy to practice their craft. Make their classroom and school a safe place to work. Take an extra duty off of their plate. Pro tip: telling your staff that they are “valued members of the team” this week means nothing at all if the rest of the year you treat them like untrustworthy flunkies.

Politicians and other public figures

There is nothing less stirring than a Teacher Appreciation Week message from a political figure who, the other 51 weeks of the year, complains of “ lies and indoctrination” or suggests that teachers “ want to destroy society .” Pro tip: claiming that you’re just attacking the union and not the teachers in it doesn’t really blunt your attacks.

If you are not going to be supportive of teachers the rest of the year, one week of performative appreciation will not impress them now.
