Monotone
Monotone is a unique photo blogging theme where the background colours of the theme automatically change to complement those in your photos.
As the demo site explains: “Monotone takes the first image attached to a post and samples colors from it for use in the surrounding layout. Each post needs to contain one image, and optionally, any text you want. The theme does the rest, pulling colors out of and resizing the images for use in the design.”
It’s a very cool and eye-catching effect which means your site will never clash with the photos you’re showcasing.

Professor
Professor isn’t designed specifically as a photo blog but this brown-tinged, two-column Wordpress theme displays images with such effect that that’s probably what it’s best used for.
The theme author says Professor was designed to focus on the written word, but large images inserted into posts in this theme would get more attention than the headlines, which are offset in the right-hand column, making it perhaps better suited to photo blogging than anything else.
Either way, it’s a stylish and modern theme with a number of nice touches, including featured posts, a widget-enabled footer and valid code.
