Portfolio sites are often excellent sources of design inspiration. With photography portfolios the primary focus is of course the photography itself, so the design is often minimal to allow the photos to have the attention of visitors. In this post we’ll showcase 25 photography portfolios that show how design and photography can work together to create a beautiful portfolio site.

Brilliant choices. The best ones are the designs using photographs that capture movement. It makes the whole thing seem more dynamic.

I love it. This article is nicely put together. I am about to start a photographer website design for a client and needed some inspiration. Some people debate whether or not looking at others works can actually inspire your design, but its nice to be able to take a bit from here and there to make one great design. I am sure my client will love it. Nice website. Found you on Google. Definitely going to check out your other blog postings.

Im not a fan of flash photography sites (especially any with music). Here are a couple photographer sites we have built.

Hi Patty,
I wouldn’t personally go the Flash route either, but I think some of them are well done. Your sites look good. I especially like StudioKids.

I like it. Thanks for pointing it out.

It is an honor that you featured my creation, Ben Thomson Photography.

**Thomson is spelled without a “p.” Do you mind correcting this in the subtitle?

Thanks again.
Cheers!

My mistake Chris. I corrected the spelling.
