I Have a New Gallery and Would like some Feedback Please!

I would very much like other pro. Photographers to tell me which photos I should leave up and which Images I should take down, as it IS My Portfolio. Thank You very Much, Harold Adler at http://www.pbase.com/adlerphotos

Do you feel unqualified to judge your own work?

[pstewart]

That's a big job. Instead, how about posting some you aren't sure of? We all have a few that are borderline between yes and no...we can give opinions on just those, okay? Any that you consider a definite "yes" should stay, since you should be the final judge of your work, I think.

Only you know who your target audience is. I see that you have posted some wedding and portraits.

As a potential client, I would want to see representative photos. For instance, a bride would want to see "traditional" photos to see what you do that's any different than other photographers. What makes your photos any better/different than another wedding photographer?

The same thing with portraits. If you do babies or small children, post pictures of them. Same thing for Senior pictures.

But again, this is your portfolio. What you display is up to you -- asking anyone else to look without giving them any more direction than that isn't going to get you a lot of posts or comments.

NOTE: I'm not a professional photographer, just a person with 9,000 digital pictures under their belt. I do mostly stock photography, and use my photos for various web clients.

What I post on PBase are items that either interest me, or in the case of my PAD (Photo A Day) entries can be almost anything.

For me, PBase is a storage medium and a way to interact with other photographers. I don't use it as a portfolio per se. I have enough websites I can use to make portfolios, and can make better presentations than what is possible through PBase.

So back to where we started .. it might make more sense for you to ask an opinion on a specific photo. You may get a better response.

I'd say keep what you want to keep. It's your gallery after all, not ours, nor for our benefit. Keep up the good work

As others have said, its up to you, Harold. Also, you must look at what you want to achieve (if anything) by having these galleries on line. Do you wish to sell them or just share them with others? IMHO, the Faces/ portraits gallery is mainly a series of snapshots. Its just my preference but I prefer to take images of folk when they are unaware of me doing so. But that's just my preference

I looked at Buildings and Structures and Artwork. It appears to me that you have a very good eye. I wouldn't presume to tell you which to drop. Just continue to shoot and over time you'll come to decide some are better than others. Good shooting!

I too am new here and would not presume to tell you what to drop however you may want to think about in the future only choosing one or two of your best shots from the same building as more than that tends to get monotonous(for me). But only after you get more shots up on your page may that be neccessary
