What Studioframe is for

Studioframe is a free WordPress portfolio theme for photographers, designers, illustrators and studios. It uses a masonry grid with lazy-loaded images, full-bleed project layouts and restrained typography so the attention stays on the work rather than the interface.

What’s in it

Masonry project grid with a two, three or four column setting
Full-bleed project template with a caption-aware image gallery
Hover captions that stay readable and keyboard accessible
Optional dark mode for gallery-heavy sites
Lazy loading and responsive image sizes on every thumbnail
Typographic about and contact templates included

Installing it

Download the zip — studioframe.zip, 79 KB. Do not unzip it.
In WordPress, go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme.
Choose the zip and press Install Now, then Activate.
Set it up under Appearance → Customize — colours, menus, layout and the front-page sections all live there.

Installing by FTP instead? Unzip it and upload the studioframe folder into wp-content/themes/, then activate it from Appearance → Themes.

Frequently asked

How do I add projects?

Projects are ordinary posts in a “Projects” category, or you can use the included Project page template. Both feed the masonry grid.

Does it support galleries?

Yes. Core gallery blocks, the image block and full-width media all render edge to edge on the project template.

Can I show captions on hover?

Yes, and they are keyboard accessible — the caption also appears on focus, not only on mouse hover.

Is there a dark mode?

Yes. Appearance → Customize → Colours → Scheme lets you pick light, dark or follow-the-system.

Colours

Every one of these is editable in the Customizer, and they flow through to the block editor palette.

The same promise on every theme here

Genuinely free, including commercially

WordPress themes are GPL v2+, Shopify themes are MIT. Either way: use it on client sites, change it, rename it, sell the site you built with it. There is no “pro” version being withheld and no licence key.

No account, no email, no upsell

The download button is a download button. We do not ask who you are and there is nothing to unsubscribe from afterwards.

Nothing phones home

No Google Fonts, no analytics, no external requests of any kind. Everything the theme needs is inside the zip, which is also why they are small.

Not a page-builder trap

Every theme works with the block editor and the Customizer alone. None of them require a plugin to look like the demo.
