Using big photographs in a web design, either as the background or part of the content, is a great way to easily set the overall mood of a site. However, when doing this, you run the risk of creating a site that it visually too busy. That’s why most site’s that you see making use of big images have an overall minimal style when it comes to the other design elements. For today’s inspiration, we’ve gathered a collection of sites that are excellent examples of web designs with big photography.

wow. fantastic collection. personally liked the second one – Curt’s Special Recipe
Curt’s Special Recipe is nice big photography design. i like that one its simply very nice.
Most of the sites, which have big images, gone thorough my eyes look very cool and attractive. A big picture in the background is also helpful in showing the site’s nature.
Cannot but agree! The inspirating collection! I liked Oxydo immensley! :)How do people manage to create so many different things?
Great article, i really like the design for Rokivo.
Great compilation. I particularly like a_collective and The Design Files Open House sites. They’re great!
Big photography attracts visitors and a big picture adds an extra value to your sites. Very Inspiring collection. Thanks for sharing.
