Photography website templates

Photography website templates that put your work first

Glint is made for a product photography studio. Linen, Verve and Strut work well for photographers who want a portfolio, a services page and bookings.

What a photography website needs

For a photographer, the site is the portfolio. It has to load quickly with big images, show the kind of work you want more of, and make it easy to ask for a date or a quote. Anything else on the page is in the way.

Glint is built around a studio that shoots products, with rows of photos straight under the headline and a clear "book a photoshoot" button. If you shoot people, events or weddings, Linen and Verve work as a portfolio with a services page; they are not made only for photographers, so you will swap more of the sample words.

  • Big images, earlyYour best ten photos, not your last hundred.
  • What you shoot and what it costsPackages or a starting price.
  • A booking or quote formDates, location and budget, straight into your contacts.
  • ProofBrands or clients you really worked with, with their permission.

Questions people ask

Is there a template made for photographers?

Glint is made for a product photography studio. The others listed here work for photographers but were designed for creative studios and freelancers in general.

Can clients book a shoot from the site?

Yes. Add a booking from startbuddi Bookings or a quote form, and each request lands in your contacts.

Will large photos slow the site down?

Keep uploads sensibly sized and use your best work rather than everything. The page builder shows each page on desktop and phone before you publish.
