What is Photographer?

Photographer is a free, multi-page Bootstrap 4 HTML5 template built for photography websites. It packages a homepage with an image slideshow, a gallery grid, an about page, and a contact page into nine HTML files, along with CSS/SCSS and JavaScript source files. The template runs on any static web host because it is plain HTML5, and it was created by Colorlib.

Key Features

• Bootstrap 4 framework — The layout is built on Bootstrap 4 grid and components, so it uses standard Bootstrap classes and utilities.
• Nine HTML pages — Includes a homepage, portfolio grid, blog section, contact page, and other inner pages; all demo images are included.
• Image slideshow and hover effects — The homepage uses an Owl Carousel slideshow, and gallery items have hover effects for interactive previews.
• Sorted portfolio grid with modal view — Uses Masonry and Magnific Pop-Up to let visitors filter and view photographs in a lightbox modal.
• Off-canvas search and burger menu — Navigation includes a burger menu, an off-canvas search panel, and drop-down menus for nested links.
• Progress bars, preloader, and UI elements — Includes a CSS3 preloader, animated progress bars, and five reusable UI element blocks.
• Instagram feeds and blog section — The template has space for Instagram feed integration and ships with a blog layout and pagination UI.
• Google map and contact form — The contact page embeds a Google Map and a contact form, with FontAwesome icons throughout.

Who is it for?

Photographer is aimed at photographers, creative studios, and small portfolios that need a clean static site without a CMS. Wedding and portrait photographers can use the gallery grid and modal view to present client work, while creative agencies could repurpose the blog and contact sections for studio promotion. Because it is plain HTML, it also suits developers who want a quick Bootstrap 4 starting point and will wire up their own backend.

What can you do with Photographer?

• Portfolio photographers: Publish a filterable gallery with modal lightbox viewing, using the Masonry grid and Magnific Pop-Up.
• Freelance creatives: Present a homepage slideshow of hero images and link to an about page, blog, and contact form.
• Hobbyist bloggers: Use the included blog section and pagination UI to post updates alongside a photography feed.
• Agencies: Embed an Instagram feed on the site to keep the homepage fresh and use Google Maps for studio location pages.

How does Photographer work?

Download the template from ThemeWagon, extract the files, and open any of the nine HTML files in a browser or upload them to any static host. Customize styles by editing the SCSS files in the CSS folder, then swap the demo images (all included) with your own. No build step or server is required beyond a basic web host.
