    Hi,

    Some quick thoughts:

    1. Interactive definitely needs explanatory text. I see a bunch of computer screens with no idea as to what they're supposed to be for, and no idea as to what your contribution is - I am guessing 100%, but I could be wrong. Did you design the icons, buttons and color scheme also? Did someone give you a wireframe to work off of or did you do that? What is the workflow between the different screen captures you have, or are they each from separate projects? Etc.

    2. Photography. Are you going to be providing photography services, or is this more a showcase of your visual talent? If the former, you might consider leaving out everything that isn't commercially appealing - i.e. leave out the tunnel and the drinking fountain, the flowers and the other tourist photos, but keep the picture of the man on a plain background and the picture of the sunglasses, and add more like those. If, however, you're not going to be selling your photography and you just want to put up some personal work, then disregard the above (:

    Can't speak for print work or identity work as I'm not as experienced in those areas.

    Good luck, hope this helps a bit.
