Easy Photography Portfolio

बिबरन

Building a photography portfolio for WordPress should be easy. Here’s a plugin to help you with that!

Quick Overview

Easy Photography Portfolio is based on the idea of albums with images that can optionally be grouped in categories!
By default, albums and images are displayed in a masonry gallery. You open up an album to see all the images. then click on an image to look at it closer.
I think it might be easier to explain with a demo.

Plugin Demo

Easy Photography Portfolio is extremely flexible, from the most basic to completely custom designs.

📌 Demo: Minimalist Portfolio

Minimalist Portfolio is a free WordPress theme – customized to look great with Easy Photography Portfolio plugin!

📚 Setup Tutorials

The plugin name gave it away – it’s really easy to set up a portfolio with it. And yet, here are some extra resources for you:

Designed for Photographers

We love the WordPress community and wholeheartedly agree with the WordPress Philosophy.

Great software should work out of the box, without the user having to adjust oceans of buttons and knobs.
That’s why Photography Portfolio is designed to be as easy to use as possible.

Photography Portfolio plugin is founded upon years of experience in building Premium WordPress Themes for Photographers. We’ve seen it all, great and not-so-great websites, big names, and absolute beginners. We have crystallized the formula of a high-quality portfolio into a simple WordPress plugin that you can use with any WordPress theme or your custom WordPress site!

It all comes down to the simple structure of a real Portfolio book.

You own a Portfolio album for, let’s say your Wedding Photography. If you happen to do street Photography too, you also probably have another album that has only your best street photography prints.

That’s exactly what Photography Portfolio does for you online. You create albums, add images, and in case you have a huge portfolio, you can categorize albums too.

Then your visitors are able to open any album, quickly scan all of the images, or view them one by one. Simplicity is key!

Developed for Extensibility

Out of the box, Photography Portfolio is built using Masonry Layout (think Pinterest). Quite simply – it’s the layout most easily portable to any website layout while keeping the feel of the brand.

Warning: Developer language ahead.
For some, a masonry layout might not be enough, it sure isn’t enough for our Photography WordPress themes, because of that, this plugin is packed with Actions and Filters. Not only in PHP but also the JavaScript side.
You can easily extend the plugin with your own custom archive and single-view layouts. Customization is easy as Photography Portfolio plugin templates are based on get_template_part() function, similar to the way WooCommerce plugin has a custom template function. That brings a lot of customization power to the table. Pick any part of the view, and append your own template bits or completely rewrite the templates.

The JavaScript side is also very opinionated and easily extensible. You can use filters and actions to either modify the existing functionality, for example modifying the core masonry layout just a bit or completely initialize a brand new layout (like Packery or Horizontal Scroll). If you decide to build a custom view, you can utilize the existing JavaScript hook structure to let the plugin handle all the little things for you.

Installation

This plugin requires at least PHP 5.4

I tested a lot of portfolio plugins and they look all quite ugly – or you need to pay for boring effects. Photography Portfolio looks great. And it’s very simple to use. If you know how to manage templates, customisation is possible and that’s the kind of feature that makes a great difference. Too bad the documentation is not very noob friendly as the time I’m writing this review. I hope it will be completed.

In my opinion the best and most powerful and at the same time the easiest to use plugin for portfolios that I know. In the last few days I have looked for and tested many alternatives.

The plugin is not working anymore – WP 5.2.4 Many users report this, but nobody cares.

This is so simple and just works. I have been through several gallery/portfolio plugins that’s just overly complex, but also requires an insane price for the plugin. Thank you for making a FREE plugin that actually works!
