Seems to me that on websites showcasing photographs, the vertical orientation suffers. The horizontal ones can be full screen, but the vertical ones get chopped or shrunk.
i.e. http://www.boucherphotography.co…
Anyone have examples of sites that handle this problem in an elegant way?

display them rotated. the user can choose to turn the screen sideways if they choose

a simple border can fix that

I prefer horizontal but if she wants to do it up against I wall I'm cool with that too.

on my fiance's site, i opted to put two portrait photos together to create one image that scales proportionally (as the landscape photos do)
one particularly nice solution i've seen is to enable vertical scrolling via mouse movement on vertical images. so, the image would scale to full screen horizontally, and by moving the mouse up or down, the user could see the rest of the image...

I like that site gabe, nice and simple. I was thinking about a side by side presentation. It's prob the best solution but it takes the spotlight away from the vert images a bit....
