3 photography website examples built with Ghost

A photo site can start with pictures, a choice of stories, or the person behind the camera. These three Ghost sites show those starting points. Each gives visitors a different view before they open a post.

The examples come from the Aspire Themes showcase. They show ways to publish work. Client proofing, print sales, and booking services need their own setup.

Ahmad Ajmi

I am Ahmad Ajmi, the founder of Aspire Themes. My photo journal has posts about Hiroshima, Petra, and other places. The homepage shows full posts, with photos and captions. Visitors can explore a journey as soon as they arrive.

Theme: Hakone.

LOVE n PHOTO

LOVE n PHOTO pairs photos and Korean-language text in a post grid. A large lead image gives one story more space. Nearby cards let visitors choose another post. The homepage also links to tag collections, including Gallery and Nature. This grid suits readers who want to choose a story before viewing a full sequence. A post with no feature image can still appear as a text card.

Theme: Nubia.

Alex Roddie

Alex Roddie’s homepage opens with a mountain image and a description of his work. It introduces his outdoor writing and photography. The menu links to Photography, Books, and a blog archive. The page also promotes Alpenglow Journal through Substack. That email service and its embed are separate from the Ghost theme. This layout can introduce commissions, books, or writing first. Recent posts can follow.

Theme: Ubud, with the publisher’s own fonts, menu, and content changes.

Match the homepage to the first visit

Browse a photo post in each demo on a phone and desktop. Check the sequence, captions, and route to another series. The public demos contain sample posts. You cannot upload your own photos there. After installing a theme, test your own photos. Check their crops and how they load before you publish.

Explore Hakone for a reading feed or Nubia for a visual grid. Ubud puts an introduction before the writing. The showcase has more live sites to compare. For more writer-led layouts, compare the personal blog examples.
