We love photography and lately we came across a lot of tools and products that can help a photographer create a great portfolio.

If you are a photographer and you would like to find the best way to display and advertise your work, you will need a photography portfolio. Here are some tools and information that may help you create a beautiful one.

You may notice that when it comes to online portfolios, it’s just not enough to have beautiful photos; you also have to find clever, beautiful and user-friendly ways to present them. A great design makes all the difference!

Grid galleries

One of the the best ways to catch the viewer’s attention with a photography portfolio is to create a grid gallery. Basically a grid gallery is an image-based grid that can list thumbnails. The main advantage is that you are able to create an impressive collage of your work.

Here’s an Infinite Photo Grid with Lightbox that will make your photos look awesome! It uses an unique way of displaying your images, and it can be dragged indefinitely in any direction and new thumbnails will be displayed. There is a great chance that your portfolio will be noticed on a tablet or even a Smartphone, and this photo grid is tested on mobile devices. Here’s a demo, take a look and see how it looks and works, but of course it will look much better once you load your own photos.

Image sliders

Image sliders are also very popular within photography portfolios. They are user-friendly and they display images beautifully.

HTML5 Image Galleries & Sliders are more and more popular, and can be easily integrated in any website. Check out this a HTML5 XML driven slideshow gallery with thumbnails! It’s one of the most popular slideshows for photography portfolios, it’s easy to use, update and maintain and you don’t even need html knowledge to install it on your website.

Another great feature is that the gallery is resizable adjusting after the browser size, so your photos will appear the same for all your visitors, no matter what browser or resolution they use. Check out some live previews here.

If you’re just getting started, you may want to browse FWebDesign portfolio for even more amazing galleries. Get ready to have the coolest photography portfolio!

It’s definitely not easy to find the slideshow gallery that you need! If you are in search of one that displays the grid of thumbnails in an adaptable layout, and that opens the item in a flexible lightbox.. and that supports Vimeo and Youtube then do carry on reading ahead.

We’re presenting The Responsive Slideshow Photo Gallery Grid which will captivate your web-audience!

It has a fluid / flexible / responsive layout which means it’s adapting to the width of the structure you placed the grid into. The grid’s height is modified based on the number of thumbnails. You can control the size of the grid with CSS or JavaScript.

When a thumbnail of the grid is pressed it can open a new browser window or the lightbox which can host either an image or a video. The lighbox will always fill the available browser viewport, modifying its size according to the size of the image or video shown.

Do check it out to see for yourself how beautifully it displays each item! It comes with amazing options for customization: you can set to zoom in, pan and zoom out an image so can see it in great detail, each lighbox item can have a description, slideshow buttons and much more.

It was coded and optimized for mobile devices and it is 100% mobile compatible and of course it will run just as great on desktop computers including on older browsers like IE7 and IE8.

Imagine displaying content on your website through a collage of images that allows users for excessive scrolling of content with minimum effort and minimal distraction. Sounds like Pinterest, right? And we know how successful Pinterest is! Only that what we’ll present to you now is even cooler. And you can use it on your own website! (gasp) And it is optimized for mobile too! (what more can there be, right?)

The secret weapon of  HTML5 Responsive Photo Multimedia Grid is the simplicity of the design and the collage of images type of display, in an effort to mesmerize users. The images take up the majority of space, with extra info kept neatly tucked under each image. All action buttons remain hidden until images are scrolled over.
