e: Also, I hate watermarks. Am I cool with not watermarking? If someone really wanted to take an image I assume they can get it one way or another, and watermarks just seems so lame.

I pretty much feel the same way right now, especially with the raft of bad HDRs posted around that have "(c) Photographer Name" watermarked in Papyrus 72 point.

For a while I used to have a white or black border with my name and some of the shot's metadata in one of the corners, but I stopped even doing that.

Mine is at kellydavisphotography.com and is due for a major overhaul. Maybe more eyes on my page will inspire me to get cracking on that. Just a simple smugmug site, nothing fancy.
Finally got around to updating my site. Rather than throwing everything out and starting from scratch, I simply trimmed down the fluff. I worry that my Services page looks a little messy, but it's still simpler than what it was before.

Lovely stuff. One layout question - on my iPad, Title / Work / etc are only visible after I've scrolled all the way to the right. Is that intentional, or should those buttons always be visible?

Its just a flikr account but started shooting again about 3 months ago after a 5 year hiatus from doing photography stuff. They are all probably under the category of NWS. I have done about 5 sets now. I dont know any other people in the phoenix area, so I would love to hear other photographers talk crap about my shots. Seriously though I would be glad to get any sort of feedback about what I can do better.

Awesome shots, nice layout, except for what I feel is an awkward placement of the links. I think it would look nicer if you pull the text up to the level of the photos as such:



But of course that is a personal taste thing, so feel free to ignore this.

Are you using the Expositio wordpress theme by any chance? How the hell did you get it to work if you are using that?

I really like this simple, horizontal scrolling style.

I'm going insane with these wordpress themes. They can be so finicky sometimes and I just don't know what I'm doing. My portfolio is all messed up right now. :confused:

It's hand coded from scratch for the sake of simplicity. Every CMS-type portfolio I've tried has been way more trouble than it's worth for my very simple needs.

You're trying to represent the best of your work. Be selective. Sometimes that means 5 photos, sometimes that means 17.

Yeah, I don't understand why portfolios are all so clunky in Wordpress. But the last website I build was hand-coded HTML in 1999, so the bar for improvement is pretty low.

I think it opening to the about section is a bad idea. You want people to immediately see visual content with a portfolio text makes you look boring.

Just for the sake of asking something, should I start with a bunch of thumbnails or one large image at a time? (Pretty much the only layout option with this thing.)

I just finished putting this together last week and I've tweaked it in some way every day since. My main goal was to collect the best of my work and also convey my personality while still maintaining a relatively utilitarian barebones design because I see a lot of port sites that just go way overboard on the customization and stylizing and I feel like it detracts from the actual images. I feel like I have accomplished my goals and so for now, I am happy.

I think as long as they are representative of your best work, there's really no such thing as too many photos. A person should be able to get a good idea of your work/skill level from 5-10, but there's no reason there can't be more if they want to keep looking. As long as you're not throwing in filler photos so it looks more padded out, then I wouldn't worry about numbers.

I think there is definitely enough solid work here to warrant a portfolio. I think you need to shoot more commercial stuff if you want to use it to find paid work, though.

^^ might be kind of nitpicky but I think the title "regular people" is a little awkward, like there might be a better word you could use. Like, what's the difference between a regular person and a fashionable person? Are street people not regular people? I understand what you mean but the average visitor might not.
