Help with structure for optimizing Photography Website SEO

Hey guys ,

I am building a photography website and currently I have it setup the following way for my image galleries :

mywebsite/portfolio/norway-landscape-photography/#!gallery6618-6577

This provides me with an individual link for each of the images in my photography gallery but as a gallery these have obviously no content and I figured the best way would be to add the images I want to work my SEO for to individual blog posts .

So here is what I did so far :

- Added a link to the caption of each image inside the lightbox that is linking to the individual blog post

- In order to not break the navigation I made the post with the content for each image open in a modal popup (it changes the link in the top bar but once closed it goes back to the gallery) .

- I made the image inside the post link back to the fullsize image in the lightbox gallery when clicked instead of linking to the .jpg in wp-content/uploads.

The image linking is setup this way :

Blog Image --> Gallery Image url --> wp-content/uploads/file.jpg

Now, I have some questions regarding whether this is a good practice in terms of SEO and if the fact of having duplicate images or this structure is going to hurt my SEO any way .

Is there a better approach for this ?

Thanks
