Andres, I think you'll find the thirties are some of your best years. Young enough to enjoy everything, and old enough to be free of most of the trials of youth. It's a good time in life.

Turning 30 wasn't as hard to take as turning 50...I'm not looking forward to 60 (well, that's a little ways off, but the older you get the quicker the years go by).

You use the IS release. I would have thought it more appropriate to adapt the release so that it included your name and company - but not any RF agency name.

Freudian slip? I thought you did not shoot nude models.

I do have my own with my name and my photos with the same text as IS release but it has all my info already printed so I didn't want to post a link to it :). But you are right I should post my own there. I will do, thanks :)

Great website Andres!! I like the precise information you give for future models... Would you mind terribly if I borrow some of your lines for my own website information? www.junglefrog.com
I've been thinking of some good information and you have nailed it down!
The only thing that I miss is the ability to click through your portfolio. Although I love the flash thing it makes me wait untill the next picture comes up and if people are in a hurry they might not want to wait that long. The option to click through would be a good addition I think, but maybe you did it on purpose!

I would appreciate some comments and suggestions whether good or bad :)


Hi, Andres!

As I think white letters on black background is not the best decision.

Hi Andres,

The site is nice and clean and really emphasizes your gorgeous photography.

A few constructive criticisms:

in you gallery, I have to sit and wait for the photos to advance. I like to click through things at my own speed, go back, linger on images I like, etc. Right now you're deciding all of that for me. You may also be giving your clients with slow machines or slow connections a problem with all the galleries in flash.

The other thing is that the flash changes never quite finishe for me, so the left most image is never fully revealed. I'm on a G4 mac, using Safari. May just be my computer and browser (as sadly not all web applications will cater to us Mac users yet!).

And one last thing (I promise!), I'm guessing English is your second language? There are some phrases that are just a bit awkward and could use a little editing. It may help to ask a friend who's writing you like to go over your copy with you. If you poke me a little later, I can pm you a list of phrases that stood out to me with some suggestions.

But all in all, it's a nice site. As a designer, I'm happy to see when others spend a lot of time and energy on their websites to make them kick @$$. Your website is you. It should be just as good as the work the you do.

Wow, very nice. Better than the last one.

You are very much an inspiration here!

Need to fix a word...
On your Model page QA 4th from the bottom:
"...Photolibraries I use to market my photos have extrict terms and conditions.."
Should extrict be strict?

Thanks for sharing,
Dan

WELL DONE Andres - looks awesome, professional, interactive, WOW.

Who do you use to host the site? I just registered a domain and need to create and have the site hosted. So I'm looking for a good quality, relibale, large storage, and fast site for hosting.

Recommendations???

Andre, beautifully done... I wouldn't expect less from you.
I shall have a few things to say about it but I do wish to write you a private email for that.
I'd appreciate if you PM me your email address if you are interested.

Take care my friend.
