Help regarding setting up a Photographers Portfolio Blog

  • Hi everyone!

    I need help regarding setting up a photographers portfolio blog on WordPress. I have already completed the major work of buying and hosting domain etc. I just need help in getting expert advice in setting up a blog that looks professional and eases the work.

    My idea is a little different:

    The portfolio blog will actually be a gallery of the photographers from my locality. I need to display the work of each photographer separately and in a professional way. The homepage should display random and featured works and the blog should have separate pages (and logins) for each photographer with slide show and gallery view etc.

    500px.com is an example website for my idea.

    I have tried to setup things but I am confused in what theme and plugins to use and how to start such a blog from scratch.

    Help me in getting things right and starting a blog up to my idea.

    Thanks

  • Hi there!

    There are many ways you could achieve the functionality you are looking for.

    Here is a list of Free WordPress Photography Themes that you might find useful.

    You could create a separate ‘category’ for each photographer to display the pictures of an individual photographer on a particular page.

    Some Slider Plugins – such as Master Slider – allow you to query certain categories and display them as slides. So you could use this to create a slider for each photographer.

    To create a masonry layout (similar to 500px) you could try this plugin: Masonry Layout

    For the photographers to login a you could create accounts for them with ‘Author’ privileges so they can upload and edit posts but not change the core features of the site.

    I hope that helps!

    Cheers,
