Website Critique needed

Your other option is just to simply change your body background color to #343434. (I'd also give your footer-wrap a top border color a few shades off the background)
 
Your site isn't awful but the way you present your photographs is. If you're serious about photography then you need a serious rethink about your site. Start over. Think about how many times people have to click to see your photos. Think of an interesting creative and engaging way to present your photographs. Lose unessecary information - very few people (let alone famous photographers) are interesting enough to warrant an 'about me' that describes why/how they got into photography.

You could have all your photos on a scrolling film reel, a one page, succint, well presented site, with the photos spanning the length and being scrollable, with your name and contact details beneath. Simple elegant and concise.

It was like that before but I was told by someone on here to make it more like it is now.
 
Something like this?

Maybe not exactly like that but follow the same model. So it feels less like a website and more like an intiutive display of your work.

I'm sure there are some tutorials out there on how to make a scrolling set of images, the rest is just graphics, no fancy code.

yeah but it looks like it would require some kind of flash, which i have no idea how to use and would probly require and FTP, which I don't have or know how to use tbh.

You don't even have FTP access? :/

You need to get some better hosting.

well it's limited to images only, find me a better host for free and I'm open though :)

Probably doable with some JavaScript.

This is the first site I've made, and I only really have experiance with very basic HTML.


And I've updated it a bit to make the images easier to get to, is that better?
 
I think it's decent enough for your first effort Josh. Nice and clean. Sure it needs improvement, and will probably benefit from overhauls in the future, but as it's your first attempt I'd say well done myself.
 
hey josh, check your spelling! spotted a couple of mistakes matey - like the highlights, it's coming on...lightbox let's you title the photographs too, have a google for that and the next / previous idea I mentioned and I reckon you'll be nearly there...

Thank you. I'm sure as I learn new skills I will improve it.
