Gallery Layouts & Recommended Plugins
Sell Media : https://wordpress.org/plugins/sell-media/
We highly recommend using our Sell Media plugin to start selling your photos. Sell Media has a gallery widget which can be added to homepage layout via Customize -> Homepage. Under Customize -> Design -> Layout, you can also set the crop option and various gallery layouts such as Masonry layouts and different column layouts.
JetPack : https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/
We recommend JetPack plugin as it has various modules added to it such as Tiled Galleries. This can be really nice if you do not plan to use Sell Media but need diversity for gallery layouts.
