Denis Peszka of SmartBees provides a detailed guide to building image galleries in Drupal 10+ using core and contrib modules. He highlights the role of the Media and Media Library modules for media asset management, the Views module for custom displays, and the Image module for file handling. For enhanced interactivity, modules like Slick Carousel (responsive carousels) and Colorbox (lightbox galleries) are also recommended.

Peszka walks through creating a gallery step by step: enabling Media and Image modules, adding images to the media library, defining a new "Image Gallery" content type with a Media field, and finally displaying images using a View with a Responsive Grid format. The approach is flexible and can be extended with styling, animations, or advanced layouts. By combining these modules, Drupal site builders can implement customizable, reusable, and visually engaging galleries without custom code.
