I am very pleased to announce that after two weeks of sleepless summer nights in front of the laptop my photography work has found it's place on the world wide web!

I'd appreciate the feedback (yes, even negative ones :) ) and your comments about my work selection.

http://korshe.com

Hope you will enjoy it, thank you RFF members... I could not make it this far without you :p

Some great work out there (b&w and color). And the website is very easy to maneuver. Sorry, no negative feedback from this member. :D
 
I would put some more information about yourself, and also, if you seriously want to sell prints, something about :what prints, what size, how you ship, the prices, etc.
The photos are a bit messed up. I would divide people shots from citiscapes and so on.
However, on the positive side, the site is uncomplicated and some photos are good.
 
yeah, on the contact page, maybe some information about yourself might be nice. like maybe where you're based or what in particular you like to do. or even a one-liner if you want to be mysterious. And maybe a 'real' name! (is 'korshe' your name... or just a nickname... or an acronym... or a backronym... or is it a mystery? you don't need to tell me...)


And don't feel like you have to name your photos. A place and date is nice, but alot of the titles seem very arbitrary to me.


but yeah, good stuff!

All information about my prints is there if you click BUY PRINT and also a link to see how a framed print looks like...

I was also thinking of splitting people from architecture, might still do it along the way.

Thank you !

Definitely a good one, will add some more stuff about myself and may be even a picture with my camera.

I appreciate the input!
 
On your contact page you mention the documentary nature of your work. Something about your photographic vision would be nice.
 
Just looked at the colour pictures and found the formatting messy.
Would like a uniformity of entries and the items to be in two very precise columns. Opening up the photos I expected them to be bigger and centred in the screen.
Making a website is very time consuming and this one is certainly feeling fresh and uncluttered. Looking pretty good so far ....
 
Great website design. Is this something you built yourself? I don't find it difficult or cluttered at all. Really easy to use.

My favorite photo is 'Waiting Woman, Toronto 2011' from the BW section. That one is special.

Criticisms:
-I would lose the photos of people's backs (like 'Golden Glitter'). I'd say some general self-editing would make your portfolio feel stronger (there seems to be a lot of filler).
-I'd agree with an above poster that titling your photos is a little presumptuous and therefore not just unnecessary, but actually unwanted (seems pretentious).
-I think your BW work is stronger than your color work. Just an observation.
-Too many photos from the same event looks like inexperience (again, self editing--just choose the best one or two).
 
I like many of the photos -- and that's the most important thing. However, on my browser I had to click on an image, then use the back button to click on another image -- as opposed to easily being able to go from image to image, sequentially arranged with thought by way of the ubiquitous arrow. My point, navigation and layout weren't good for me. Blu domain offers very cheap flash websites that would be a vast improvement. And it's just me, but why not label the category color instead of, again for me, the pretentious "colour."

Also, your full name, Arseni Karshakevich, is great -- why not use that instead of Korshe squiggly line? Also the name of the home page Art and Watercolour Art -- how about your name, Photography and Watercolors

And you don't need the blue (hey world it's a link) line around your upper left title -- we know to click on it :)

Your contact e-mail -- inquire@ Why? How about Arseni@Korsche.com

Instead of writing the word FACEBOOK, how about just using their logo?

And the text in the about section -- if you have a friend who's a copywriter, and who can rework this for you, or if you can pay someone -- I think it needs work.

I'm sure I'm only pointing out what you yourself know.
