The name of the theme speaks for itself it’s a really clean design that compels you to look around the site and see what it has to offer.
Fusion - Responsive Photography & Portfolio WordPress Theme by @CleverSoft
This one I’d put under the category of portfolio theme for photography studios. It is great for the freelance photographer but where it shines the most is with the studios. It has a layout built to showcase project-based photography and it does this well. Really versatile options for the project descriptions and comprehensive about pages that would fit a photography studio perfectly, makes this theme perfect at showing not only your work but your business as well.

This theme certainly has the premium feel. It’s ultra-modern design and attention to detail is what sets this one apart. It has thoughtful features, such as the password protected content, and striking visuals to make your work as a photographer pop. Many features for showcasing your work are available and the only issue I have with this is that all of them are so cool it would be difficult to chose which one to use
Valeria - Photography WordPress Theme by @BioButterfly
A minimal theme that combines excellent layout with smooth transitions of the elements to make your portfolio feel engaging. This one is for the photographer that doesn’t have so many projects under his belt and creating your site with this theme will be a breeze. As for the end-user - navigating your site will be a breeze too.
Thanks,
Nick
