That's a pretty sick template dude. The only thing I'd like to see is San-Serif fonts in the nav-bar, I want to see how it would go. After all, most photographers want to seem up to date and modern rather than traditional. Just try it out, if it looks shitty then don't bother posting it. Lovin' the rest though.
whoops, i didn't want it to come out that way... sorry ace.. having a bad day, computer has a virus and there is no way for me to reinstall the pc cuz my keyboard is deciding to not work on boot, so can't enter bios.
Please tell me how I was supposed to know the photographer took that picture. And yes, I did mean for him to edit it a little.
This is just an example, for any photographer to buy and use for his website. See the "John Doe" and the filler text that doesn't actually say anything?
Yeah, I understand that. You guys are telling me stuff that's obvious. I just thought he should dim the light a little. Geez.
It's not about knowing if he took the picture or not, but rather your ass of a comment. You don't do photography, and you don't do graphics. You don't have any experience, and you felt you needed to put in a comment, but you didn't even try to give a good one.
Okay, you don't need to know photography or graphics to look at the image and think "Oh, the light seems too bright."
Woah chill dudes, I understand where Ace is coming from. Did no one read my apology post? You don't need to know graphics/photography to make a comment. He suggested his opinion in a customer's perspective. Little things like what he said effect how much the site appeals to someone who may want to buy it.
Man, what is with all this drama around here recently? Anyways, I like it. I do think that the navbar text should be sans serif though. Just my opinion.
The light... is too bright. Maybe ignorance is too bliss, or not bliss enough. Yes, you do need experience. You'd be surprised. If it was dry you eyes out bright, no, you don't need experience to say it's too bright. But a ton of artists have gone back and said how stupid they were when they made childish comments before they got into the art themselves. Hell, now I can see why people ignored my critique on signatures before I even got into it. Even though they still do, there's much less people who do that. Because the person with experience knows he can't agree with the newbie because his experience says otherwise. The excuse "you don't need experience" is just to give idiots who don't have talent a reason argue against the people with experience. Now when I say this, I don't mean I do have experience. Don't take that the wrong way.

It's obviously dislocated. Anyhow, how many of you would pay 30$ to get lessons from an inexperienced person? Same thing applies here.
Pretty good layout. I think it needs some color. And the nav bar style is fine, it's just that the font you chose is very aliased in that small size. Try choosing a better font and you'll be clear. But I actually like the serif style.
I wanted to keep it as monotone and dark as possible, but still add some contrast because afterall it is meant for a photography website. The dark colors help pictures stand out by giving contrast to photographs.
I know, I understand exactly which style you were trying to achieve. I'm not saying you should make it flamboyant, but small touches of color add a nice effect and (especially for this type of graphic) can have better commercial appeal. It's always important, say for example, for clients to remember a name:
