victorwei Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 <p>Very nice opening page. I particularly like how you cropped the images in the opening slideshow into the cinematic aspect ratio. One suggestion is to include some photos of family group portraits as some of your potential clients may be looking for those as examples of your work. Good luck with your new venture.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch_tbhotmail.com Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 <p>Not bad at all although I found the text on the gallery page a little difficult to read against the backgrounds. Other than that, it looked fine.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david c Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 <p>Your website is put together well, I do agree with the font colors in the text they are just a little hard to read, other than that great job...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kathleen_silver Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 <p>Stephanie, what web service did you use to create the site?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanie_ostermann Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 <p>Kathleen, my husband actually built this site for me. He used Zenphoto for the galleries, but the rest he did in Dreamweaver.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wogears Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 <p>Well... The site itself runs well, although it looks just a touch amateurish. Navigation is good, except that I couldn't go in onc click from a slideshow to the full galleries menu. I think a viewer should be able to do that.</p> <p>There is a problem with your wedding images. Some of the detail shots are very lovely, but all of the 'people' shots have cluttered backgrounds, and many are shot with available light, and are badly blurred. White balances are all over the place, and there is--forgive the harshness--not one that could be sold to the MoB or whomever as a large print.</p> <p>The most important thing for a professional photographer (or a pro anything for that matter) is to learn their craft. If you have the craft skill, you can develop your own style, whatever it may be.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanie_ostermann Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 <p>Thank you everyone!<br> Les, the wedding shots that I've taken have all been as a guest at friend's weddings. In the interest of staying out of the way of the official photographer, I just do what I can. However - I don't actually plan to do weddings for awhile. I am second shooting with a local pro to learn more, and so my portfolio will expand and improve over time. Thank you very much for your comments, though! Not harsh at all.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
