  I’d like to explore the option to remove the comment feature on every page except for my blog. How do I do that?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Go to Pages > Specific page you want > Quick edit > Deselect “Allow comments” and save. Apply bulk action.
  Do you want to keep them on posts only?
  If you want to remove them from posts too, then same will be the procedure.

  CSS editing is not required to disable comments on pages or for that matter on posts either. This page > Settings > Discussion
  Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
  We can also override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any post or page.

  Depending on the theme we use when we close comments a phrase like “comments closed” or a similar phrase may appear and if so, it can only be removed by CSS editing after purchasing a custom design upgrade.

  What I posted above applies to all the free themes. We Volunteers answering questions on this forum have no knowledge of how the premium themes are designed to operate. When you purchased your premium theme what came with that purchase was support directly from the theme designer in the Premium Theme Support Forum. So if you need theme support for Photography there is a link for the specific Premium Theme support forum under Appearance -> Themes in your blog’s Dashboard that you can use.
