Hey guys i just finished putting up my website last night, and i feel pretty good about it; however i just want to open up the floodgate to some constructive criticism, ideas, etc.

the url is http://www.andrewkalinowski.com

oh and dont hate on some of the pictures in the gallery too much, they are a lot of filler images, and i know i forgot to change out the filler text in the large views of the picture.

Cheers!
 
Pretty dope layout I thought, only thing I would say is in the future when you add more stuff, categories inside the "work" section would be nice spacers basically. I liked it though
 
Not bad at all. Super clean and professional looking. Maybe just use one quote on the front page. I was confused with the quotes and slashes in between them. Other than that add some more work. Good stuff.
 
Like I said when in my review of whoever last opened up their website to M+A. This will probably sound negative but I'm not saying these things for the sake of negativity.

Home Page:

Song on front page. That player is so tiny and blends so well with the background. Ditch it. In fact, I would suggest against using any songs on your website at all as you are a photographer and not a musician.

A macklemore quote calling him ben haggarty? Huh? Not inspiring. I think a lot of people are going to say, ben haggarty, who the fuck is that?

Your front page doesn't pop at all. It's your first line for prospective clients and fans. Nothing made me want to go on. I saw half a picture of a skier. That image can't survive on its own.

Your layout looks very iweb (i think it's called) generic. Is it?

Work page:

When you click on your images, if they could blow up bigger, it would be better.

I don't get what your pictures represent. You have 3 pictures of the amanda girl. 2 of them are basically the same. Basically the same thing with the skier in blue/red as well. What do you shoot? No offense, nothing wowed me. Top center picture is the only one I find half decent. This page is to sell your work. You didn't sell me.

About page:

This is just disgusting. You refered to yourself in the 1st and 3rd person in the first sentence. In your second sentence, that is not how you use a semicolon. Needless to say, I did not go on. This needs revision.

 
real sick, although personally, i like full screen sized images, instead of smaller thumbnails. idk just something to take into consideration. i like the layout though, and nice images
 
I really like the site design and layout. That is all good. But you need to make some adjustments to your "About" page. You don't want people/potential clients going to your page and having "So basically" be the first two words they read.
 
totally agreed guys. i totally forgot how stupid everything on the about page was,

ill come in with some changes soon though.

and i wanted to put ben haggerty rather than macklemore because i wanted the focus to be more on the message of those lyrics rather than "oh shit thats the thrift shop guy" haha

but mostly im kind of doing filler text and images at the current moment. I just got a new photo rig after getting everything stolen (including hard drive...)

cant stress enough though - thanks so much for all the critiques, i really appreciate it
