Hey guys, I just spent about 2 hours overhauling and updating my portfolio. It is a collection of my work from photography, graphic & web design. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Thanks NS!

You have some great pieces.
I would recommend that you take down some of the event posters. Some of them are just very type heavy and pull the overall quality down a bit. You still have many pieces and it won't be lacking if you pull a few of the weaker posters.

sweet stuff!

i really like the design stuff, the ski designs are sweet
the photos are pretty cool too, but maybe if this is a portfolio you will be using to get jobs etc. i'd consider trimming down the photos, some of them could be left out

but overall i really liked it

Spend more time gutting.

I get rid of all the repetitive/boring shots. Id also get rid of all the shots that you shot at ISO 6400 when it was sunny out..

Thanks guys, I "gutted" a bunch and took out some of the posters. I'll try out Noise Ninja, the reason some of them are grainy is because I shot them with my dinosaur of a camera, a point & shoot Canon IS800, from like 5 years ago. Also been dropped a bunch and not exactly in the best shape right now haha, but still takes some good photos.

The ON3P shirts are...bit of a question myself. I started working with Scott at ON3P about a year ago when he saw my Faction contest entries, and the first couple I did weren't really their style. I didn't do anything for about a year then I started doing some again and they turned out really nice so I sent some previews to them but he hasn't gotten back to me. I'm hoping they do because I really like the designs, but the thing with working with logos is that I can't use that design for another thing, so I'm stuck.

Sklar - I'll probably add that one back in, it was one of the last ones I took out cause I wanted all the images to end up in a nice square shape. I'll keep adjusting them though, maybe switch photos every once in a while.

The photo above is a bike trick I don't know the name of, but he went up the landing about half way then stalled on his front wheel and came back down. It looks really cool and smooth when he does it, now that I look at the photo though it could pass for a near bail haha

Ok, so he rode up the landing and then did something like that? I thought he was landing the previous jump and landed like that
