Looking for a photography website template? In our opinion, it would be silly not use a Flash website template. Sure, you can do nice gallery transitions with AJAX to showcase your photos using plugins and scripts, but if you want people to get really excited about your photography then use Flash. Simple. Most Flash 8 templates are easy to customize and you’ll have your own photo show case up and running in no time. Another advantage of using Flash templates is that people won’t be able to download your images. Here’s some of the best Photography / Portfolio Templates (and other options) that you can use to help get your photography portfolio up and running today…
