    You can check ThemeForest, if you can't find what you need there you're not doing a proper search. You have everything you need there, and also you will find support from the seller as well to help you customize your theme, good luck friend!.

    You need to be creative, isn't necessary to be the same. You need to find something that you can work with, in the end you will be doing personal customizations. But if you run out of luck, why don't you try contact the person who made that website? you can see their website inside the footer, contact them and ask them to make something similar for you :).

    Holy CRAP, that's a bad theme. Why would you want something that broken for anything? For instance, here, on my computer, it has broken scroll, the "pages" (scrolls) doesn't fit my window-size, hence the animations and cut-off points doesn't fit the viewport, the animations are choppy, and even the backgrounds loads as I scroll, making the page seem unfinished. Also, the text is nigh on incomprehensible, some of the animated text disappears off screen before the animation fully loads... I haven't even looked at the code, but I guarantee you, it's a pile of garbage.

    I would like to inform you that the WordPress is perfect platform for your site. You can install "Envira Gallery Lite" plugins for your site that can help you to build up a portfolio site. I think you choose it easyli.

    If you want to build the portfolio website, try the Creatorlink site.
    They provide the responsive designed templates and easy to add parts such as text, image, pages and more.
    Also, you can customize the pages with your own pics or edit the codes.
    I think Creatorlink is good to start.

    This may sound mean but coming from the advertising industry and talking to top art directors in the world - this portfolio is like looking at throw-up.

    What a creative director wants to see in a portfolio in terms of design:
    • Your work - no distractions/animations/crap
    • A small explanation of said/shown work to give an understanding of what the problem was and your soltuion
    • Clean layout, easy to navigate
    Wordpress is a great platform and easy to manage (add projects, update quickly and requires no experience coding even though html/css helps). Go to Themeforest and have a search around for 'minimal portfolio themes'.

    Hopefully you found this helpful and best of luck my creative friend.
