I am a wedding photographer that is interested in having full control of how my users view my website. It was very important for me to have a quick loading gallery that also opened the images quickly in full screen to showcase the quality of the work. I think hands down the JIG thumbnails + Photoswipe is the best way to showcase photography on WordPress. The fact that it easily integrates with real media gallery is the icing on top making WordPress feel like an actual full photography website. I have been running some tests and Google definitely likes the way that JIG is serving up my image thumbnails with alt tags and descriptions. It even links to the high resolution version, so it's a win for search engines and my users! I have been recommending it as “the best WordPress gallery” to all of the Facebook groups I am part of!

Love this plugin. I use it on a client website for an art gallery. Using it in conjunction with NextGen Gallery in this instance. It allows us to display the art in each section in nice alignment without gaps. Use it in conjunction with FooBox so that all images on the site have nice lightbox effects. 2 things I was especially looking for: a way to display the images in a gallery randomly (to be fair to each artist) without gaps or strange alignment, AND to handle VERTICAL/portrait orientated images as well. Many plugins only seem to handle long horizontal images. The plugin has lots of well-thought-out USEFUL features. It looks beautiful, too, sophisticated, and FAST. The imagery, description and demos are extremely informative with visuals to understand the features. Not just tech-speak like so many descriptions. I will certainly be buying this for use on other sites, too. Thank you for a great job!
