A lot of people nowadays showcase their photography works on the web. It isn’t an easy job, but it is nevertheless worth doing. Collaboration of professional web designers and photographers gives us a marvelous blend, what we nowadays tend to name photo (or photography) portfolios.

Terrific photography works on the one hand under amazing web design “covering” is characteristic of the following ten portfolios:

1. Denis Rouvre portfolio has a captivating intro where some of the best photos are placed. Going into the portfolio itself you discover more creative photos which you can view either as a slideshow or as a photofilm.

2. Natasja Fourie has an outstanding portfolio where photos, creatively arranged, are used both as central objects as well as backgrounds, preludes or interludes. If you want, you can switch to full screen mode. All this is accompanied with a lot of movement (which is a little bit frustrating sometimes).

3. A portfolio with simpler web design but still interesting to look at is presented by Pawel Fabjanski. Isn’t it beautiful? In its own beautiful way, of course.

4. A portfolio with lots of striking photos and their artistic arrangement has been created by a Belgian photographer Koen Damuynck. Voilà.

We are used to receiving grades. We have been getting Fs and As since our childhood and I believe that grades are pretty useful. They enable us to see very quickly and clearly who is who. I have decided to assess online photography portfolios highlighting their most common mistakes. Of course, “A” gets the one which has none (rhyme not intended).

I would give “B” to a portfolio with the following mistake - and it is not a scarce mistake - excessive verbosity. Whether commercial or a non-commercial project your photography portfolio is, if it is online, it should be the visitor, not you, who really counts. He or she has come here to watch your pictures, not to read about you. Limit yourself to only the most necessary text information and concentrate on your works. Here it is really that “pictures speak louder than words”.

“C” definitely gets a portfolio where baffling background music starts playing. Most people find it irritating, you know why? Frankly speaking, I don’t actually, but take it for granted! So, if you still want to include some background music, make sure the visitors can turn it on and off, when they like it.

If you click the cursor on one of the pictures you can see it in full. You can add your comments to each picture. An interesting intro (a camera) and black background is a good touch which makes this website recognizable among similar ones.

White photo portfolio CMS flash template 2031 is one more but completely different photo gallery. Created in soft pale colors it looks very light and almost transparent. The web-site ruthmoscovitch.com that used it gives you a very nostalgic feel. It includes only three sub-chapters About, Portfolio, Contacts.
