Hi,
I’m looking for a theme that has a full page ‘Pinterest’ style photo display similar to this:
http://www.jacobimages.com/photography
click on his PORTFOLIO page

I currently use tiled galleries but the photos are too small and horizontal and vertical aren’t displayed as nicely as this.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks.

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

Did you take a look at Cubic theme: https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/cubic/

Also take a look at some photography themes here: https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/subjects/photography/

Feel free to adjust the filters see if you like anything.

staff-happychia thanks for the suggestion but Cubic and many others take horizontal and vertical images and make them all square. I want the photos to display as the size they actually are :(

I frequently search the photography themes but can’t find a full page option similar to the one I posted the link to above.
Puzzle is probably the closest but it’s column is not much wider than what I already have. Also some images are small and others large…I want all the images to be large.

Any other suggestions?

A couple of grid-based themes that display both landscape and portrait images without changing their orientation are:

Thanks a lot @kathrynwp GALLERY is closest but I’m still not finding what I’m looking for. Full page, horizontal and vertical shots in a grid portfolio with no background between them. When you click on an image you get a larger version along with the ability < > to scroll thru and see all the other images in a large size. Seems like this doesn’t exist yet on wordpress.com but I will keep looking!

@ cathyscholl,

GALLERY is closest but I’m still not finding what I’m looking for. Full page, horizontal and vertical shots in a grid portfolio with no background between them.

The landscape orientation images displayed in the portfolio on http://www.jacobimages.com/photography are precise scaled down versions of the full size images they represent, while the landscape images each have a very close approximations to the same width to height ratio as the full size images. The latter must be slightly cropped.

However, all of the full size images I checked in the portfolio are of two types:
1. Landscape images are each 1600 x 1064 and display at 400 x 266.
2. Portrait images are each 1065 x 1600 and display at 400 x 600.

Each displayed image has a width of 400. This keeps the display of them orderly. What would happen if you included images with other dimension ratios than the two presently included at http://www.jacobimages.com/photography? I suspect that any images that vary significantly from the two allowed ratios would be significantly cropped.

No items found.
