One of the most important things that a photographer should have is a portfolio. A website photography portfolio is the best marketing a photographer can do, and, as I’ve blogged about often, a WordPress website and blog allows you to easily rank high in Google and thus great web presence. A good portfolio can effectively help a photographer gain more prospective clients when it comes to his or her photography services. These are some of the best themes that photographers can use if he or she chooses to create his or her own website with free, self-hosted WordPress.
I’ve actually used and recommended several of these WordPress Portfolio themes not just for photographers, but also models, wedding planners, designers, and anyone who have artistic visuals to display.
