portfolio critique...

please, let me know what you think. About images, and about presentation method, which obviously is very clean and simple

Well they're very good.

I didn't like 10 (don't like the angle)
13 was a bit plain
22 a bit pointless
23 looks like you tried to cover the lack of focus with grain.

Some really nice images though.

Thanks allot for the comment, I've logged in thinking nobody would care to comment, so u proved me wrong.

I agree with you about 22, removed it. about 23, I usually shoot manual focus at night, I remember this particular scene because i have two versions of the photo, one perfect focus the other portfolio version - but the one with perfect focus lacks character of the dancing man, in portfolio version he has the face, I really like the feeling of it... but yes ur totally right, I used grain to cover up focus problem

1 question. 22 (was 23 before) one with grain and soft focus, do you think its worth keeping it inside? or should I ditch it?

p.s. also from usability perspective, did u easily get the idea that there is 34 photos, and u need to click rewind button to get them?

I like your street walker style. You definitely have a style. I like your approach and off-centered compositions I didn't comment on all the of them, though I looked at each one. As far as presentation, It's OK, yes simple; some images a bit grainy. Sometimes that adds to the effect. Good job.

#2 could use a little more contrast.
#4 looks a little awkward with the left hand; cropped a little too close to the bottom.
#5 love the staircase but the hotspots are blown out, sort of overwhelms the image.
#6 phenomenal
#10 tilt overdone
#15 love the perspective

What's the purpose of the portfolio? I like the work, but if I were wanting to hire you for something - I'd want to see the pictures of whatever it is I am hiring you for.

that's a valid point. but...

I'm not looking for getting hired, I do this for myself photography for the sake of it, not money.

thx.

thanks for the comment! I'll try to improve images as per your suggestion, I think you have valid points. I especially agree about hotspots on #5, and contrast manip.

Your overall portfolio shows excellent composition. Yes there are a few pointless pictures. About your staircase, I like the blown out light reflections. They add a lot to the balance of the pic.
