Websites play a significant role in photographers’ careers – they are helpful in promotional campaigns; they also help photographers to find new clients and sponsors, and stay competitive among other artists. These websites express personality and individual style of their owners. Photography sites are often creative and unique, sometimes they are simple and nice, it all depends on the imagination, sense of style and technical skills of the photographer.

The majority of photo portfolio pages have black and white design, because these colors concentrate attention on the imagery and create a favorable environment for its showcase. One more thing to unite all photography websites is a gallery. This can be any type of the picture view, but it should be both impressive and easy-to-use.

In this showcase I have gathered a handful of nicely designed websites, which are worth talking about. These are absolutely different themes conveying different styles of photography so you are welcome to take a sneak peek at the mysterious world of the web design art.

I would start with this awesome black and white website. Its homepage is a slideshow of impressive full-screen images, while the other pages are colored in white and exhibit large grid-based galleries.
