New portfolio website

Hello, all,

Just finished my webpage portfolio and want to share it with you.

Hit the Underwater section, as there are others related to my working areas.

I've been working as a photographer in the last one and a half years in Indonesia, and travelling around Southeast Asia. Most of the underwater pictures are from Amed and Tulamben, (North Bali), but there are also from Padang Bay, Lombok (Gili Islands and North shore), Sumba and Komodo.

Feel free to comment and criticise the photos or the site itself. (If possible, in a constructive way). Also feel free to ask anything regarding the photos or the dive sites.

Disclaimer: There is at least one photo of spearfishing, and probably there will be more, as taking them is part of my job. I respect everybody's feelings about what and how they put food on the plate. I also wan't to be respected for picturing the most selective and eco-friendly way from getting fish from the oceans.

Have fun!

WooooooooooooW!!!!

I am surprised nobody commented on your website yet, because i took a look and found a number of gorgeous pictures, congrats!

OK, i was initially more interested in how your website itself rendered (as i am looking forward to build mine), but i couldn't help being caught by some picutres.

The barracuda dentists is very inspiring, i like the fact that the barra appears very dark, whereas the cleaning fishes are well lit, same as the barra's teeths It would have been even slightly better if the barra had been a bit higher in the frame, IMHO, but already an excellent photo.

My attention got caught by some of your travel photography which are beautiful too.

Bottom line is that i'll take proper time to watch your pictures at home

One thing i like a lot is the fact that you have only a few pictures, but telling stories on each. I like the way photos titiles appear over the picture in case of mouseover (or tap on iPhone).

If i could suggest something to improve for mobile navigation (at least on my iPhone 5s), it's the rendering of text on your homepage: for some reason the paragraphs are displayed very narrow, not using the width of the screen, so it's a bit cumbersome to scroll down. Same on your underwater photo gallery: the title and gear description appear too very narrow, which again requires you to scroll down to see the pictures. Hope this is easy to fix?

Last but not least, may i ask how you built your website? Have you used any particular solution such as Photoshelter or others?

cheers

Nicolas
