A lot of people are into photography these days. I myself have been recently bitten by the photography bug and would also like to have a photo blog soon. Looking around for some inspiring photo blogs, I came across a dozen free but premium looking photo blog WordPress themes. Which inspired me even more to start a photo blog.
These maybe few but I hope you find something suitable if you are also looking to start your own photo blog or if you just want a new theme for an existing one. If you also happen to know similarly free stunning photo blog WordPress themes that are not included in this list, you are most welcome to share it with us by mentioning about it in your comments. Enjoy!

Autofocus is another stunning photoblog theme. It’s easy to use for newbies like me, however it has some layout problems for viewers using IE. It works fine on Firefox though.

As a graphic web designer , I’m very glad to see that someone thought to post this topic.
Quite a few people out there just don’t grasp the concept of what all is needed in this industry, and I think also we’re many times underrated
or taken for granted. Never the less I’m very glad to see that you may feel the same way I do , thanks so much for your blog!

I tried downloading the Photography theme, but it failed. It says that it’s missing stylesheet. Not sure what that is. Do you know how I can correct that?
Thanks!

Hi Anita. Please check the files you downloaded and look for style.css. If it’s missing, please contact the theme owner you downloaded it from and ask for it. Thanks.
