Photos are the perfect way to capture moments you want to remember and moments you want to share with others. Using photos as design elements is a very good way to give your design a unique and personal touch, besides being a good way to get the viewers attention. You can use a photo as background, in the header, as central elements and much more. Lately a lot of websites are choosing photos as their main element and the results are pretty inspiring. So for today, we gathered some excellent websites that take this approach. There’s a ton of inspiration here.

Very cool. {Have to laugh at the name Helvititee, though}. I would love to show big photos of my artwork on my website – I’ll be incorporating some of these fine examples into my redesign.
Kentisbury Grange looks superbly fine!
Great collection… Nice design..I love design who use big photo, so different and so attractive! Thanks for the list!
Excellent selection. Diehl Group and Kentisbury Grange are great pieces of web + photography. 🙂

Very nice collection of varied sites, Gisele. Inspiring indeed.
These are beautiful. It’s funny the first thing I thought was ‘inspiring’ too! Not to be a hack, but looking at these really makes me want to run off and make a few ‘tweaks’ 😛
Keep it comin!
Thanks so much for a great article. As someone who is looking to redesign her owner blog, the featured websites are very inspiring.
