way way too many photos 99% of them aren’t good. And get rid of the damned watermark. No one wants to steal your photos and even if they do, what are they going to do with a 72dpi image?

your portraits are not very good. Your event stuff is better but the event stuff is really shitty work for very little return. You’ll probably grow sick of it as you get older.

You said: “Probably a bad idea to venture into the “proofs” tabs. Some are old (don’t represent current quality of work…”

Then take it down. Don’t let people see work you aren’t proud of.  I took a quick look and i’d take it down. the whole thing.

You certainly have some talent. Compositions are great. You use photoshop too much sometimes. You catch a lot of bad angles of people and you don’t always get the right moment, which is fine. The good news is, it looks like you have a good rapport with people so you can just keep on playing and practicing. You’ll probably do very well making a little money here and there in the small town that you live in where your customers don’t know any better. But if you want to move into a bigger market and make a real living at it, you’ll need to improve. I recommend you find some photographers that you like and try to assist with them and, i guess go to university for it and learn more about composition and color and light. Or you could save yourself the tuition, move to NYC and start assisting for 2-300 a day, freelance and really learn. TBH, I wish I had done that instead of going to university, although it’s not a bad idea to have a degree to fall back on.

Bottom line: you have some talent, don’t let it go to your head, plateau and never really achieve anything.
