Borano - Photography / Portfolio WordPress Theme 1.46

Borano is a creative and high-impact WordPress theme designed by FastWP, specifically for photographers, freelancers, and visual artists who want a bold, cinematic presentation. It is known for its sophisticated use of dark/light modes and its unique "Horizontal Gallery" layouts, which move away from traditional vertical scrolling.

## Core Photography Features

Cinematic Sliders & Slideshows: Features multiple slideshow types, including fullscreen video backgrounds (YouTube, Vimeo, HTML5) with custom controls.

Horizontal & Justified Galleries: Offers rare horizontal-scroll galleries that allow viewers to sweep through a collection of images as a narrative.

Light & Dark Theme Switch: Users can switch between a sleek dark mode and a clean light mode, helping you match the site to the specific "mood" of your photo series.

Keyboard & Mousewheel Navigation: Specifically optimized for an immersive browsing experience where users can navigate the portfolio using arrows or a scroll wheel.

Smart Grid System: Automatically organizes photos of various aspect ratios into a perfectly balanced "justified" grid, similar to Flickr or Google Photos.
