Hello,
please can you recommend me the best theme for photo blog? I love minimalistic style and I would like to have photos in the posts with great width (at least 900). I am searching but most of them offer only big featured image and the rest are smaller (about 600). Now I am using sundance theme and I am not satisfied with the scale of pictures. ( http://www.dontworrybelight.com ) Thanks in advance for any suggestion. Cheers from Czech Republic.

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

Hi there,
Theme selection is entirely subjective and I steer away from making any best theme for this or that type suggestions. Please try browsing these 50 Free Photoblogging + Photography + Minimal WordPress Themes https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/minimal+photoblogging+photography/

Hi,
thank you for your reply. I have tried many of them but it is really difficult to find one where the picture on home site are shown large. For example I really like Sundance, Minnow, Tonal and Simplicity but I cannot do pictures big enough (only featured image display big). I hope that I explain it clearly. Thank you for help.

I am sorry but I do not know what you mean by big enough. I do know that no image width can exceed the maximum displayed image width designed into the theme, and I also know the quick specs are found on each individual detailed theme description page.

Hi @vosahlovi,

The Photography theme might work well for what you’re looking for:

If you would like, you can see it in use here:

Provided you select the Image post type for your posts, the images should appear full width (as wide as you see them on that site). You can also set it to a lighter appearance (you’re currently seeing the dark appearance). Can you take a look?
