- looking to do a photography site that's both a showcase for a talented photographer and an ecommerce site for selling fine art photography. any suggestions on templates and plug-ins would be appreciated. I'm thinking Elemental-Darkmatter with a good slideshow component integrated.

- Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Thanks! I have been considering both. They have recently made a SlideShowPro for Lightroom which would allow me to use it without having to buy the Flash program. I would like to see RT put together a nice portfolio site for photographers seeing as no one out there has done it yet.

- One thing I've noticed is that Joomla is rather ill-equipped to provide a proper portfolio site. There are a lot of compromises that have to be made in order to display the content. Beyond that, I also think it is a bit overpowered; I'd rather work with something along the lines of PixelPost where the focus is on the photography instead of a CMS like Joomla where the focus is not on photography, but instead, on written content.

Bentobox dark would be my choice, I also find SimpleImageGallery Pro a worthy investment.
If the site is intended mainly as a photo album though, I would agree with Thomas Stoeklein, Joomla is not ideal for this type of purpose, much better suited to written content. For album purposes, PixelPost is good, though myself I prefer Zenphoto on balance.
