What the hell happened here?
Some of the portraits suck, sure. He needs to learn to edit his portfolio better- 99% of photographers, even "made" fine art photographers, do.
Some of them are really good. Not every portrait is- or should be- done with really shallow DoF and lighted in an intricate, Yousuf Karsh-esque style. Have you see Cartier-Bresson's portraits? David Alan Harvey's, especially?
And yeah, the watermark is stupid. I've a feeling the OP put it on there because he's trying to sell his music photography. OP, drop it, still. If you insist, look at the watermarking style Magnum Photos uses in their gallery. Simple and absolutely unintrusive in almost every photograph it's done over.
And all of you don't know what gear the OP uses. I checked a few photographs- no EXIF data. Because he has a TLR in the corner, and a lot of the photographs (all, maybe) are square, I suspect he's shooting with a 6x6 TLR. Which is fine for fashion, if of course a bit imprecise in framing. His style is wrong for fashion, though: too simple. It works other places, though.
The site's design, other than the watermarks, is fine OP. As far as your photographs, like I said, your style doesn't "fit" fashion, but otherwise you show talent. Consider cropping the photograph in your OP post. Square format isn't right for it. Learn to edit better. If you're a photography student, it shouldn't be hard to get someone knowledgeable to do a portfolio review for you.
