In addition to being an awesome way to power a blog, or serve as a CMS, WordPress can highlight and show off your photos or portfolio in a very beautiful and clean way.
Whether you are a photographer wanting to show off some of your photos with a theme that is clean and crisp, or a web designer that wants to showcase your portfolio, there are some great WordPress themes that have been designed with just that in mind.
Before you download a theme, be sure to read everything that is required in order for the theme to function properly or any special ways that you may need to upload photos or lay out your content. Many of the themes below make use of custom fields, AJAX, and various other non-standard WordPress features that you may want to familiarize yourself with.

Thank you so much for this comprehensive list! I’ve been looking for two great themes to use for two websites (one will be for my brother who’s a professional photographer) and this list has truly helped me in my quest.
Thanks!
I checked out the PhotoBlog theme, but it’s not free.
Yeah, not all of them on this page are free – but the premium ones offer some great support other features that you won’t find in free themes.
I like it especially its for free
