The best photography portfolios are like real-world photo galleries. They are uncluttered and use whitespace to distinctly display each photo. Of course, since they are digital portfolios for a service, they follow the typical portfolio web design and service website design principles:
- - The best photos are showcased at the top of the visual hierarchy, likely front and center.
- - The photos are categorized so potential clients can easily see the relevant images.
- - There’s easy navigation to reach those category pages and other pages.
And there’s contact information for potential clients to get in touch.Check out the examples of photography portfolios below to see the abovementioned principles in action.
1. Scott Snyder Made With Squarespace
Scott Snyder is a product/object photographer based in Costa Mesa, California. His photography is clean-cut and top-of-the-line quality, as apparent from his portfolio showcase.
The professional photographer displays his best photos with plenty of negative space on the homepage. You can find more about each photography project by clicking on the associated photo: He mentions his roles in the project, what he did to successfully complete the project, about the client, and more for each photo.
Besides showcasing his work on the homepage, he has a separate Work page (i.e., a dedicated portfolio) where he has displayed more of his works beautifully in a two-column layout.
Even the overall website experience is fantastic. Scott uses easily readable fonts; the scrolling animations are on point; there’s a small ‘about me’ section; there are appropriately placed CTAs (Contact, Instagram); etc.
In short, not only does Scott have a great photography portfolio, but his website is a well-designed photography website as well.
2. Meiwen See Made With Squarespace
Meiwen is a professional designer and photographer who features travel, people, editorial, and interior photography.
His site is minimalistic. On the homepage, he has gone with two main things: a short bio and his portfolios with a few featured items. The minimal navigation bar helps visitors find more of his portfolio items, the contact form, or the primary social media profiles (Behance, Instagram, and Pinterest).
Potential clients interested in his photography can click on “photographer” in the navigation bar to see his photography portfolio, where Meiwen has organized his photos in a gorgeous four-column layout:

The website also has seperate portfolio pages for all the categories of Levon’s work (people, macros, prints, etc.) for visitors wanting to see a specific type of photography.
4. Juno Photo & Film Made With Squarespace
