Top 3 July 2011 Photography WordPress Themes

by Deneil Merritt on July 10, 2011

Today, I decided to do something different. I am going to showcase 3 wordpress themes for photography since I enjoy taking pictures of stuff, mostly food though. I don’t know why but food looks perfect to take pictures, to me anyway.

#3 WordPress Theme – PictureThis

PictureThis - Fullscreen Portfolio WordPress Theme

The PictureThis wordpress theme provides more features than I know what to do with. The creator really put some thought and effort into building this photography wordpress theme. A very simple navbar on the left hand side while show casing photos on a full-screen style. No, I didn’t pick this one because of the woman in the picture. With over 800 copies sold this theme speaks for itself.

WordPress Theme Features

  • Fullscreen Image Slideshow
  • Advanced Portfolio Options
  • Unlimited Colors
  • 3 Custom Widgets (Recent, Popular, & Flickr
  • 30+ Shortcodes
  • Unlimited Sidebars
  • WordPress 3.1+
  • and more features…

#2 WordPress Theme - Photorific

Photorific - Photography WordPress Theme

This theme offers similar features as the one above but also offers video support. A see through navbar will allow your visitors to see your images in full without covering too much of your picture. On a side note, I love the photo the creator used to show case this wordpress theme. What a twist on the way of life. Amazing this theme has sold over 700 copies so far.

WordPress Theme Features

  • Fullscreen Image Slideshow
  • Choose Your Own Colors
  • 3 Custom Widgets (Recent, Popular, & Flickr)
  • Portfolio with video support (PrettyPhoto)
  • 30+ Shortcodes
  • Unlimited Sidebars
  • WordPress 3.1+
  • and more features…

#1 WordPress Theme - MediaReel

MediaReel - Portfolio WordPress ThemeThis wordpress theme is my favorite of all. If I was a full-time photographer or web designer I would most likely go with this theme to show case my work to clients. This theme has a hideaway navbar so all of your image is displayed. I don’t know what the creator was thinking when choosing the image to be display on the demo. I personally would have picked a woman for higher sales. Anyway, this theme was just recently released and featured.

WordPress Theme Features

  • Fullscreen background Slideshow
  • Portfolio  Custom Post Type
  • Color Picker
  • Unlimited Sidebars
  • 3 Custom Widgets
  • WordPress 3.1+
  • and more features…

Final Thoughts

It was fun to come up with the 3 best photography wordpress themes for July 2011. I think I will come up with a top 3 each month. If you want to buy any of these wordpress themes click on the image and sign up to ThemeForest to buy it.

What are your thoughts of these 3 wordpress themes?

Hey Deneil,

A great list of themes here. One of my friends is actually looking to get a website up, and he’s a photographer. I will definitely recommend these.

Haven’t talked to you in a long time man (this is Behnam btw, we used to chat on MSN).

Shoot me an email sometime and let’s catch up. The site is looking great.

Cheers,
Ben
