In some ways, Tumblr’s minimalist design makes it perfect for photo blogging. Here are three of our favourite themes, all available from the Tumblr theme selector.
Syndex
The home page displays each photo in a large format, making it ideal for portfolios, it’s not a big theme for words, so is best suited for those who prefer to let the picture do the talking.
Quite Big
As the name suggests, this theme is perfect for displaying your photos in all their glory. Gallery posts look especially good, and the home page can have real impact on your visitors. There’s also plenty of room for text if you want to include it.
Grey Matters
The beauty of Tumblr is that people can create their own themes for free distribution to other users, Grey Matter is one of those. It’s a fairly simple theme that will show off your photos well while also including plenty of space for words.
