Dont have a dodgy background.
Dont have a scrolling gallery, have a flash gallery or something, so you can click through them.
Use neutral colours so the background doesn't take focus away from your photos.
More flattering photograph of yourself on the front page

Looks good. Maybe a random picture from one of your galleries on the homepage?
Create a new directory, then in that directory put some resized pics, then open notepad, copy and paste this code:
Save As, select all files and save it as image.php
Edit your homepage, insert an image, then for the path for the image, link it to the above file. new-directory/image.php

Code:
<?php
$files = glob('{*.PNG,*.png,*.JPG,*.jpg,*.GIF,*.gif}', GLOB_BRACE);
readfile($files[array_rand($files)]);

Dunno, not keen on the background.
Theres free ones, like SimpleViewer etc.
Nothing about being ugly, it looks like you've cropped an image, take a self portrait in an artsy way, so it fits in with the whole photography thing.
About the hosting etc, get a .me.uk domain (v cheap) and the cheapest hosting.

What is the purpose of the site - to sell yourself or just showcase some of your work?
Nothing wrong with free hosting if all you want is a little web presence. If you are setting up and trying to sell your skills, then look at some paid, no ads hosting.
Also, have a look at http://www.deviantart.com/ - Can setup a page and gallery on there to showcase your work.

the purpose is both of those really, but realistically it is just to showcase some stuff because im not really that good.
I actually like the deviantart suggestion someone made. If you don't want to go for paid hosting and you don't plan to get yourself pro photography contracts out of it then that would probably be a better idea than what you have at the moment.
Without this being a personal attack, given your <unique photogenic characteristics>, the website would probably be better without a photo of you.
EDIT:Just noticed you've changed it. I like the changes (except that the photo on the front page has scroll-bars!), but still think it would be better on deviantart.
