What it does
Photographers need a website that puts their images first and keeps everything else out of the way. This theme uses a clean, modern layout so your photos stay the focus. You can choose from multiple customizable grid and masonry portfolio layouts, then present individual sets of images with sliders, lightboxes or carousels. A one-click demo import loads pre-built content, which gives you a working starting point that you can adjust to your own work.
Beyond the portfolio, the theme covers the other parts of a photographer's site. A drag-and-drop page builder lets you create and arrange pages without coding. You can change color schemes and fonts to match your style and brand, and an integrated blog section gives you a place for stories, tips and behind-the-scenes posts. The layout is responsive and retina ready, so images look sharp on desktops, tablets and phones.
