Photogenic

Photogenic is a free, one-page HTML5 Bootstrap 4 portfolio website template from ThemeWagon, built for photographers and creative professionals to present their work in a clean, minimal layout.

What is Photogenic?

Photogenic is a free HTML5 template built on Bootstrap v4.1.3, created by Free HTML5 CO and distributed through ThemeWagon. It takes your portfolio images and text and renders a single-page website with a hero header, a filterable portfolio gallery, and a news carousel. The download contains one HTML file, CSS files, FontAwesome font icons, JavaScript source files, and the library/plugin files (Bootstrap, Owl Carousel, Isotope, Unsplash images), so you can host it on any static web server.

What makes Photogenic stand out?

Photogenic packs the essential portfolio components into a single page, using a stack of proven front-end libraries.

• One-page design — Everything lives on a single HTML file, making it easy to edit and deploy without a build process.
• Bootstrap v4.1.3 grid — The responsive grid and utility classes ensure the layout adapts to phones, tablets, and desktops in all major browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Mobile, Opera, Safari).
• Hero header and go-to-down button — A bold full-width hero section with a scroll-indicator button guides visitors into the page.
• Gradient styles — The template's buttons and accents use gradient color treatments for a modern look without needing custom CSS.
• Sorted portfolio gallery — Isotope powers a filterable gallery so visitors can sort projects by category.
• News carousel — Owl Carousel provides a scrolling section for recent news or updates.
• Contact form UI — A ready-made contact form layout is included; you connect it to your preferred form-handling service to receive submissions.
• FontAwesome icons — The icon font covers social links, buttons, and UI elements.

Who should use Photogenic?

Photogenic suits creators who want a simple, visual portfolio without learning a CMS or build tool.

• Photographers — Show a hero shot, a category-filtered portfolio gallery, and a news carousel for recent shoots or announcements.
• Freelancers — Present services and past work in a one-page layout with a call-to-action button and contact form to capture leads.
• Creative agencies — Use the minimal design as a landing page that highlights portfolio pieces and directs visitors to contact.

What can you do with Photogenic?

• Freelancers: Replace the demo text and images to create a personal landing page with a CTA button and a contact form UI.

How does Photogenic work?

1. Replace the Unsplash demo images with your own files and update the image paths.
2. Edit the text content in the HTML to match your details.
3. Upload the entire folder to any static web host or hosting service.

Because all libraries are included locally, the template runs without internet dependencies or a server-side build.
