interesting work, usable but slightly odd navigation... I think its a template, which makes sense to a photographer, but....
random idea... check out folio sites of successful commercial photographers in the genre you're interested in working.... not too many of them are full-screen.... many of them have things like client lists, client testimonials, and a more precisely targeted body of work. If you have tear sheets, you might put them in.... Art buyers look for little clues to separate "commercial photogs with a book" from "wannabes with a portfolio" and these clues are often quite small.... note that some people judge you from your least-amazing image, not your most amazing image, so I'd cull a few images, especially from the live music section, as a few musicians look bored, which is an occupational risk of photographing musicians, I know... theyre playing the instrument, not posing for you or being an actor(!)
theres some interesting portrait work... the trick here is to have some variety of demographic, and/or light really well and have a certain attitude, all so it doesn't look like you just spent a few weekends photographing your photogenic friends, but that you're able to pull off an editorial portrait of somebody you don't know for a publication...
theres some cool stuff here.... and yes, Id make the logo smaller....
