7 free wordpress themes for professional photographers
Posted on 26. Mar, 2010 by Luke in Articles
For a photographer looking to create a website cheaply, wordpress presents itself as one of the best options.
- It’s free
- It allows you to look professional
- You can set it up yourself
Unfortunately, looking through all of the free themes available out there is a time consuming process. Lucky for you, I’ve looked through the complete wordpress theme directory and found these 7 to be the best.
I’m only looking at free themes in this post. Premium themes offer much more in terms of design and funtionality, and it would definitely be worth considering some premium themes when you’re creating your blog.
The themes I’ve chosen aren’t necessarily photo blogs – blogs that feature a photo each day. Those blogs are great, but what we’re looking for here are themes that are suited for a website to promote a small photography business. The themes here all include a place to list and show off your different services – wedding photography, portrait photography, etc.
Without any further ado, let’s dig in.
Studiopress Black
Simplistic and sharp. Great room for a large image that showcases your work. I like how the pages are featured along the top, so you can easily create a page for each of your services.

Station
Another dark theme. Again, pages are prominently featured so galleries and information can be added to the site in the traditional way.

Tune
Another simple theme. This one isn’t so universal. Most photographers like black or dark themes because pretty much any picture works on a dark background. If you’ve got branding that matches this teal colour, Tune is definitely worth a look.

Dark Relief
A striking theme that will suit those that want a bit of extra flair.

Autumn
If you can change the photo at the top left to a striking photo of your own, this is a fantastic looking theme for a photographer’s website and blog.

Dark Smoke
Simple and clean.

Charcoal
A change from all the dark themes. This theme has a white background and looks quite stylish.
