What it does
Many photographers want a website where the pictures do the talking, without busy menus or heavy design elements competing for attention. This theme answers that with an unobtrusive layout that puts photographs front and center. It suits professionals building a client-facing portfolio, as well as hobbyists and photo bloggers who simply want a tidy place to present their images online.
The portfolio is the heart of the theme. You can pick grid, masonry, metro or Pinterest-style layouts, then adjust the size and margins of portfolio blocks to match your taste. Navigation sits at the side, either collapsed or in a normal view. Portfolio items load through Ajax, so visitors move between pieces without full page reloads. A one-click install option helps you get the demo setup in place, and the responsive, retina-ready design keeps images sharp on desktops, tablets and phones.
