WordPress is by far one of the most sensational software breakthroughs to hit the Internet in the last decade. It has enabled writers, publishers, small business owners, and even propeller heads to create high traffic dynamic websites over virtually night. The vast WordPress library of plugins has helped to site owners to extend their websites and blogs beyond imagination when compared to the Web 1.0 world. Still, WordPress has traditionally had some limitations.
The most notable limitation with WordPress is that most themes have a “WordPressy Look” to them. Second is that the integration of rich media such as video has always required some tinkering around with plugins or embedding of YouTube code. The end result was just flat out bland. The same can be said of photo library plugins. That was until Press75 Themes hit the WordPress scene with video themes for WordPress and photography themes for WordPress.
Photocrati
Photocrati photography themes offer great looking Wordpress 3.0 compatible photography themes that feature a thorough Theme Options section that allow photographers and photo bloggers to spend less time monkeying with WordPress and more time taking great shots. Photocrati premium themes provide support and regular updates to their themes.
Press 75
Press75 offers 9 commercial WordPress themes and 3 free themes that combine high end graphics and layouts with two essential plugins and offer the end user theme customization and control through an appearance configuration panel. Due to their creative and functionality, these make for excellent video themes for WordPress and photography themes for WordPress. The premium themes are as follows:
The Photographic Theme is a contemporary photography theme for WordPress that uses the Simple Post Thumbnails plugin to simplify adding photos to an online photography site, gallery, or picture blog. The user simply needs to select a photograph from their hard drive and the theme does all of the rest.
Press75 Photographic Theme
The VideoFlick Theme is a video theme for WordPress with seamless video integration from sources such as YouTube. The theme uses the Simple Video Embed and Simple Post Thumbnails plugins to make posting video with an attractive thumbnail photo a breeze. The theme also provides a user interface for customizations including managing 125X125 advertisements in the sidebar. This theme is great for bloggers who frequently include video and photos into their posts.
Press75 Video Flick Theme
The OnDemand Video Theme for WordPress was inspired by the online video site Hulu and is a full featured video site solution supporting video from any site that provides embed code. The site’s plugin also supports playing of uploaded video files. Like all Press75 Themes, the admin has a UI for theme configuration. If you paid a developer to build you a custom site like OnDemand, it would cost tens of thousands of dollars!

I am having lots of trouble subscribing to your rss feed, it keeps giving me an error for some reason.
I’m loving the VideoFlick theme, I’ve used it for so many projects. It’s versatile, easy to use, SEO friendly – I would recommend it to anyone
