Photography is a popular field, and like many fields, requires a well-designed website to show work to potential clients. Photography websites need a heavy focus on images, galleries, and portfolios. Some even need pricing tables and WooCommerce integration. Fortunately there are lots of photography websites built with Divi to inspire ideas. To help with that inspiration, this article lists 16 examples of photography websites built with Divi.
Most are brochure-type websites with a focus on portfolios and services. Others include products while others provide related services. Most use their blogs to show their photoshoots. Others use their blogs for blogging and include photography tips. Most focus on wedding photography but they also provide other photography services. All are great for sparking the imagination. They’re in no particular order.

Nice selection of sites if you’re a wedding photographer, but they seem to be all the same, and not particularly suited to any other type of photography. I think we need a new list with everything BUT wedding shooters. I plan to upgrade my site shortly using DIVI (I already am, but it needs some work) and this would’ve been helpful.
I was hoping to see something other than wedding photography websites. 🙁
Check mine out, built with DIVI and integrated with WooCommerce. I love this theme, it is my go to for any project. https://allanpudlitzke.com
On this site http://www.jaspervandegeinfotografie.nl/ how did they get the photo gallery to spread across the entire width of the page. I have messed with the gutter settings and fullwidth area and can not seem to duplicate it. If any one can help, please comment. Thanks
I also use Divi for my photography website, is trully a game changer.
great work!
Divi is certainly improving overall (and I have been a big fan since 2.0) but its image handling still makes it hard work to develop a good PHOTO website with it. You’ll need one of Melissa Love’s child themes, or a whole lot of time and patience to customise the CSS to make it behave in the way you want.
You will also need a few plugins – a responsive grid gallery and a fullscreen lightbox at a minimum, and probably a better slider too. And unless all your images are the same dimensions (or at least the same ratio) then working with Divi is very frustrating (example: a recent Divi update has ‘upset’ old thumbnail galleries that have a mixture of portrait and landscape oriented photos).
I see some of these Divi sites also use a third-party Instagram plugin to add extra variety to the rather plain Divi options of image display.
Been a semi-pro photographer for the last 10 years. Can’t say I was very impressed with any of these sites as “Photography” sites. I use Divi for my blog which is great. WordPress just does not make it easy to create an actual “Photography” type of website. WordPress simply falls way short compared to sites devoted to photography. It is king of the written content, not images.
reat Projects, Great ideas for upcoming tutorials, elagantt themes.
Lots of great inspiration and eye candy on this list, and so exciting to see the site I designed for Megan!
Nice to see these websites. Just to mention they are all Weddings photographers and most of these websites looks identical. I would have love to see different kinds of photographers and designs.
These are so beautiful! I love Divi. This is so inspirational, that you can literally achieve anything with Divi! Megan and Jordanna’s are my fav’s from this list! Loving that most were created with Melissa’s templates from the Design Space – GORGEOUS 🙂
Good info !
How can i make a blog like https://laneweddings.com/blog/ with the divi theme?
Great to see these great webdesigns! Even better to see the website that I made for Jasper van de Gein (number 3) mentioned here. 🙂
Good ideas for designing. However, first content, then design. I’m disappointed with the quality of the some of the pictures. It doesn’t make sense to put a full-width photo to a website if the quality of the picture is mediocre.
thanks.
I just saw some of the sites that built with Extra theme.
the homepage of theme don’t have canonical tag!
even they use blog feed in their homepage and don’t have canonical.
I check your extra theme…same thing
http://elegantthemes.com/preview/Extra/blog-feed/page/2/
even checking your blog feed demo
all pages canonical to first blog feed page
isn’t that a problem?
effect on seo I think. is there a fix?
Great to see a few of mine on here. Divi works so well for photographers.
How do you as a child theme developer solve the the integration of vertical images into Divi galleries? I for one finally decided to use a third party plugin for my site, since I wanted a masonry layout. But maybe you have a different and better approach? Curious for your answer…
Hey Axel,
Care to share which plugin? 🙂
Thanks for putting this all together, Randy. It’s always great to see what other people are doing with DIVI – especially other photographers. Although I was a bit surprised that out of 16 websites you’ve selected, 15 of them are wedding photographers. There must be more to photography than that!
Nice selection of websites. But they all seem to be wedding/portrait photography examples.
One of the best Divi websites I’ve seen is from a travel and landscape photographer at http://www.explosiveaperture.com – I definitely recommend checking what he’s done with Divi …and his amazing images!
Thanks for that link. I would rather photograph anything than weddings. I’m an artist photographer and do a lot of travel photography so I like his layout. I don’t understand the emphasis on wedding photography.
BTW I am looking for the DIVI portfolio websites link. I’m a member and can’t find a link to them. I’m trying to set up a new photo site and could use the help but Divi’s blog doesn’t have links to things without giving them a new email address each time.
I meant the Divi portflio layout link, not the websites link.
As both photographer and web designer it’s great to see how people have really customized their sites to show off their work, brand and personalities.
I never imagined that only wedding photograpers are photographers;= )
Isn’t this focus too narrow?
Very true. The title should have been 16 examples of wedding photography… A similar article without any wedding sites is useful.
I completely agree with you point of view. I would have appreciated to see some examples of other genres.
I agree.
I came here to make the same comment. Was a little disappointed to just see wedding photographers.
Strange, I had the same remark when looking this selection of nice sites.
I’m a photographer … but I never shoot weddings.
My specialty : concerts.
Best regards
Pascal
Excuse my English, I’m just French
I agree totally. Commercial and advertising photographers, editorial, travel and brochure photographers have websites too, with different needs and demographics to satisfy.
Wow, this is one of my favorite selection of DIVI website!
now i have the idea.. Nice sites.
It looks like the problem with vertical images of the grid gallery has not yet been resolved. This is a very useful site for photographers. How about you develop the option to leave the gallery similar to the shutterstock?
I have had multiple photography clients, and it can be a challenge to make a great photography website. Hopefully, this can serve as inspiration for those serving photographers like myself! Thanks for the great article, Randy.
Nice inspiration and sites. I’m also a photographer who has used Divi as my theme, it works perfectly.
Nice website Jonas!
Love looking through these! I’ve used Elegant themes for years and the new Divi has been a game changer. I built my photography website with Divi as well.
Nice website Jennifer! I love the look of your potfolios and blog!
Great and Creative Designs
