My thoughts:

When I first saw this theme I thought that it was a perfect fit for photographers of all types, especially women because of it’s feminine features and color palette.  But you can also adjust the color palette and change the logo and have a totally new site that has cool features like prominent about me info in the right column.  It also has a variety of template pages so you can have pages with or without sidebars.

Of course this runs perfectly on the newest version of WordPress 3.1 so you can do a lot of cool stuff.  Oh and this theme has built in adspace which I think is a great feature.

This is a child theme of Studiopress’ very popular Genesis framework so you know you’ll get great SEO features.

FlashFrame is a very well designed photography theme from Shutterthemes.com and seems to be very popular amongst photographers. On the homepage it displays one image at a time using flash and fades into the next to produce a nice slideshow effect. Then it gives you the ability to also blog in a seperate section of your site. So your homepage is very subtle and clean and then you can display all of your other blog posts and pages on subpages of your site. This is  one of the most clean and elegant wordpress themes for photographers around.
