I’ve been reading almost all postings in this forum, and I do really appreciate and enjoy all feedback from all sorts of photographers out there, however, today is my first time to post online.

I’m a freelance photographer who recently decided to switch careers from a full-time Information Technology specialist to a Freelance Photographer. I have not done photography as a full-time job, apart from few projects here and there over the past 12-13 years, and my natural love to photography and taking photos, I understand photography technically (self-taught myself over the years), I shoot digital and have a thorough understanding of the technology and what goes behind all the dials on the cameras and computers alike.

I have recently created my website that -in my opinion- has my best shots over the years. I’m posting it at the end of this message for those who can spare few minutes of their time to comment on and critique my photos, I’m new to running photography as a business, and I’m keen to hear all kinds of constructive feedback.

Also, if you were to classify what type of Photography I enjoy most out of the few photos posted on my website, what would you think I am? (Portrait photographer, travel, commercial, product, etc….) I’m aware that the photos are not diverse enough to include many types of photography, but would appreciate any thoughts.

I’m also looking for assisting jobs for any Toronto-based photographer that I can learn from, where is a good start? I do believe that my IT/computer/technology experience combined with my photography skills can help me greatly in assisting, I’m proficient with photography workflow and software packages like Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Aperture, and some others that may give me an added advantage to assisting.

My website is http://www.nabilhijjawi.com

Thanks,

Hey buddy I hate to break this to you but I just checked your website out. Now don't take to heart what I am going to say but considering you said you wanted to get into photography critiques by your peers are going to be brutal its just the way it works.

As for your website its a nice try but it looks very 3rd generation as we are in 10th generation websites these days.

For you images I hope you have your Technology Resume updated.

Photography can be a fun hobby.

Best,

Avedon
