Photolia by UpThemes is a responsive, single-column theme perfect for organizing photos, galleries, videos, and much more. The header area supports a widescreen custom header image and offers three default images, set to display randomly as visitors peruse your website. Use your own custom background image to really make Photolia fit your style.
Designed by Mel Choyce and Kelly Dwan, Flounder is a flat-design, minimally styled theme for bloggers which features colorful support for post formats and a clean, responsive layout. Flounder is also is designed to work seamlessly with many popular WordPress.com features such as Infinite Scroll and enhanced gallery support.
Vision, the newest by Pro Theme Design, is a theme designed for artists, photographers and other people with a love of strong visuals. The homepage and archive pages are designed to be quickly scannable so that you can easily see what the site is about. Vision has been designed to look good on all devices – from desktop computers and laptops, through smartphones and tablets (Android and iOS).
A photo oriented theme, Bexley (also by Pro Theme Design) is the perfect combination of imagery and text; it gives photographers and artists a space to use as their online portfolio or gallery. Bexley makes prominent use of WordPress featured images to personalize every post. On the homepage and archive pages the images are used as the background for the post listing – with the post title prominently displayed.
Bromley is a flexible magazine theme that is ideal for local community, fan magazines, and talking about updates in your industry. Our third today by Pro Theme Design and fully responsive, it’s designed to scale nicely with different screen sizes – from a 27-inch desktop monitor all the way down to a teeny weeny mobile phone screen.
Flounder is a free theme, while Photolia, Vision, Bexley, and Bromley are premium upgrades. Check out each theme’s showcase by clicking on their screenshot above, or preview them on your blog from Appearance → Themes.
Thanks so much for the great selection of new themes you presented today. I was wondering if you could do a presentation for some free themes as well. Thanks you once again, and Happy Holidays.
You can check out the Photography collection in our Theme Showcase; some of them present images in very large formats (check out themes such as Full Frame or Awesome).
Flounder is an awesome free theme and I am using it! —> it has the tactile grids and interfaces of many premium themes but is still lightweight and a good swatch of colours. Good job wordpress. I like themes that are minus a lot of backdrop and can work like free themes like Vigilance (which I think is no longer WP supported) and MistyLook (I like Misty lake but can we keep the original as well because it has the this small journalistic feel that many blogs aim to be) Happy with WP after a while (Yeah I do get annoyed with you guys too it’s a human thing) Keep up the good work!

Mmmmmhhh… Vision: love at first sight! 🙂 I think is the perfect theme for my RoundTheWorld photodiary. But the thing is… in the Live Demo and the picture you show, dates are displayed on all posts but when trying the preview I only get “2 weeks ago”, “3 weeks ago”.. Is it possible to show the dates of all posts on the home? Thaaanks and Merry Christmas to you all! 🙂
Hi there, glad you like Vision! This theme uses a special date format which displays the date as “X days/weeks/months ago” if a post is more recent. The full date is displayed for older posts, like those on the demo site.
I am sure this will be a silly question but I would like to change my blog’s theme to Bromley but can’t seem to do it. My blog – Ilovewalkinginfrance.com – is currently using Theme Twenty Ten and uses Go Daddy for hosting. Do I need to change the hosting to WordPress before I can use a Premium theme? I would also like to upgrade to Custom Design but can’t do that also. Any help you can give will be most appreciated!
Hi there, the themes here are for WordPress.com sites, as opposed to self-hosted sites like you have. Bromley was created by Pro Theme Designs – you could ask them if Bromley will be made available to purchase for self-hosted sites: http://prothemedesign.com/
