I was wanting make a photography website from scratch not using wordpress. I was curious if there was a tutorial on how to allow the photographer to upload photos on there own apart from me doing it for them. I was thinking of using a form but wasn't sure how to do it. Thanks!

Unfortunately it's not quite that simple to do.
What you need is a mixture of HTML, JQuery or Ajax, CSS or a database with server side rules or a mixture of some of them.
A couple of the things you have to consider is resizing of images, file format and image quality if the files uploaded.
Using a CMS is a much better option if you don't want to use Wordpress.
Try Googling CMS a and choose one that meets your needs.
Hope this helps.

Why don't you want to use wordpress? Unless you are going to teach the photographer how to add in the photos themselves, which is a possibility as it is simple to add images, I would highly recommend you use a CMS like WordPress.
If you want to steer away from WordPress however just look for a simple and easy to use CMS online that suits all of your needs.
I hope that this was helpful.
