Reply To: Let me know what you think

I see you have a Zenfolio account (as do I!). Might I suggest that you create a number of drop-down pages within your portfolio in order to place groups of photos into different categories, rather than having a mish-mash of everything  in one page. For example: studio portraits, location portraits, flowers and landscapes (for the ones that aren’t of people ).   I’m currently trying to organise my own website as I do a range of studio portraits, and grouping those together is proving to be a real challenge!

Also, I doubt people will buy prints if you have your watermark on the pics – unless you have watermarked your portfolio and have a separate page for unmarked photos to purchase as prints.

I’m not going to call you a fauxtog but some of the photos do look a little blurry to me….curious to know if it is my eyes or if others see this too? Particularly the one of the little girl!

Your portfolio reminds me of mine when I was just starting out – a random collection of too many different subjects, often with amateurish angles (like the flowers). Your strongest photos overall are the studio shots, and I’d go so far as to suggest you dump everything else off (or at least do as I suggested earlier and create multiple galleries)  and just concentrate on building a great portfolio based around this. I know it is a huge temptation to want to post up everything you do, but it doesn’t do any favours in the long run, as a niched photographer will almost always be more successful than a jack-of-all-trades.
