A portfolio website is an essential marketing tool for any creative professional. Whether you’re a designer or a photographer, potential clients will judge your capabilities by what they see at your portfolio site. In many cases, your online portfolio will be one of the most significant factors a client considers when they’re deciding who to hire (your photos are your product).
Photography websites showcase work, provide biographical information regarding the artists, often include a contact page for potential clients, and are perfect for inspiration and creative influence. Below are 25 portfolios with different styles and approaches.
Web designers often browse through portfolio websites of other designers for inspiration and ideas that can be used in their own work. Professional photographers, like designers, need to display an attractive online portfolio for their website visitors, and many photographers have excellent portfolio sites.
In this post, we’ll take a look at some of the best sites in the industry, as well as the current design trends. Here you’ll find photography business sites that are well designed and also showcase amazing photos. You’ll see a few different styles and approaches. Many use a large background image or a large slider to showcase the photos at their best. Others use many smaller thumbnail images to fill the screen. A minimalist design style is also common because it allows the photos to be the center of attention rather than being overpowered by the graphic design details of the site.
