  So, I just deleted and upload some photos on my website. Since I'm in a good mood, I'm willing to share this information, of course hoping for some constructive criticism.

  I don't have a digital camera, everything was shot on film mostly with a mamiya 7 and a hasselblad

  the prev/next buttons are underneath the numbers (they are rather small, you're not the first elpaso :)

  • oh yeah! :D– elpaso

  i'd like to see some more portrait formatted images. many of the images could be made better with less distracting backgrounds possibly caused by a horizontal frame. i see you may want to show the environment in the shot too, but the images just feel too cluttered.

  I like this
  

  

  • i understand portrait may be difficult with medium format, so i hope you were able to find wisdom amongst my jibberish.– jaylarson

  I find the arm on the right could be cropped out, further showing the individual
  isolated. it may create a more melancholic atmosphere for the image and the viewer.

  i would just crop it a bit here to remove the shadow on the right. but not too much.
  

  

  
  one could argue that there is too much dead space in some of your photos, but as a graphic designer, i appreciate the experimental feel.

  i like the use of negative space in your images, so take my critiques with a grain or pinch of salt.

  • luv the second one– jaylarson1/3

    thanks, I rarely crop anything, somehow feels like cheating when shooting film :)– bolus2/3

    i know what you mean, but if it makes a stronger image, screw the dogme. :P– jaylarson3/3

  BRYCE ?

  • is that the shutter button in your hand? and in the other image?– jaylarson1/3

    yes– bolus2/3

    focus could be sharper on this one. Otherwise it's quite good.– ian003/3

  the last one was a shoot for a friend studying fashion at the kabk

  • good use of portrait ratio here. some background, but not too much. less would be better.– jaylarson
