[QUOTE="Don Kondra, post: 331271, member: 17688"] That's the problem with turning a hobby into a business. There is a lot more "business" than fun in it... It sounds like you need to get your sales pitch down pat so you can allow your enthusiasm for the work to shine through more clearly and clients will Want to work with you. After all, you are "selling" yourself as much as your services :) The one issue I have with your web site is the menu staying visible. IMO a web site is simply a remote portfolio, keep it simple. I won't get into critiquing your work aside to say I don't care for the white blanket in some of your shots. Either nothing or something patterned might be better. Perhaps choose something that would become something of a trade mark ? May I suggest you find something non commercial that you enjoy to shoot, that may help to maintain the "fun".. Cheers, Don [/QUOTE]
