How do you not claim to be a professional? Your About page says:
My goal is to capture the REAL you, nothing more, nothing less.
The biggest part of business is not how much money you make or how many people you have shot, it’s how your customers feel after doing business with you, I am committed to costumer service from start to finish.
I offer all forms of photography, from landscape to portraits, to weddings and special events.
Sitting fee is $50 and covers,
-The setup and breakdown of all equipment.
-The shoot its self.
-All post production work
-CD or flash drive of pictures for private and public use.
-One free 8×10 print of your choice.
-Digital contact sheet to order prints.
While most businesses like their employees to be committed to customer service, I see you are “committed to costumer service”! And, apparently not committed to proof reading.
Since you are offering photos for money, you are a fauxtographer. Under landscapes, I found whales, a bird, a cat, a couple of flowers, lots of cityscapes… I’m willing to call a cityscape a landscape, but the engineer in me thinks buildings that lean should be condemned before they fall down and you seem to have whole cities of buildings that lean.
Several of the girls in your portraits seem to have blemishes. That suggests a disturbing lack of attention to detail in post. I have a sister-in-law who does not want her photos retouched, so I appreciate not everyone wants it, but I would still retouch for a portfolio photo even if I did not retouch a print I gave to her.
