What it does
A photography portfolio needs to put images first and keep everything else out of the way. This theme handles that with a clean design, fullscreen background video and image sections, and retina ready graphics that stay sharp on high-resolution screens. The layout is fully responsive, so galleries and pages adjust to desktops, tablets and phones. Because it is built with Elementor, you can change layouts with drag and drop instead of editing code.
Getting started is quicker with the one-click demo importer, which loads pre-built demo content you can then edit to match your own work. The theme sits on the Bootstrap framework and works with WooCommerce, so you can sell prints, services or digital products from the same site. It also supports WPML for multilingual sites, plus Gravity Forms, BuddyPress, bbPress and Easy Digital Downloads, which makes it a fit for freelancers and creative agencies alike.
Best for
