About Me
I live in Scotland, have been interested in photography since a very young age but got my first SLR camera whilst in the UK Forces during the late 80's
I like wildlife and landscape photography but i'm happy to take any picture as long as it appeals to me.
I have shot both fashion & portrait photography and recently shot my first wedding.
My first digital Nikon was the D3100, I later upgraded to the D7100 and have now moved to full frame with a D750
I run my own website, www.inyoniimages.com I use this as a place to display my best work and also provide potential clients with contact details.

Having just come back from a weeks holiday on the Isle Of Skye, some of my best shots, were not sweeping landscapes or taken on visits to the usual tourist spots. Instead I found myself on a lonely beach far from the tourist buses and crowds.
As the tide went out, the black sand mixed with the with sand to create stunning shapes. I spent a few hours each night trying to get the best shots, there were a couple of people about, walking dogs so some have footprints on or around them.
I may have to have a couple printed up and framed.

Nice!
After looking around a little more, just a few things I've noticed. But before I go on: please don't take my comments the wrong way, I really like your site and your images!
Having said that, I'm not sure if the price tags are really a lot of help in finding new customers. At least for the "professional" sessions you're offering. Customers looking for private photos for themselves, family, friends or maybe for a job application might find this helpful. Companies looking for a set of photos for company profiles and such, will probably rather expect you to give them a quote. But that might as well be a german thing. I don't know.
Anyway, also for the other sections, having the "purchase"-button right there on the page might be a little too direct. I guess, for some potential customers getting pictures taken is a pretty private affair and that they'd like to get to know the photographer a little, before agreeing to step in front of the camera. For them it's not a business type service. All in all, I think I'd remove all the "buy now" features and underline a little your peoples skills and that everybody will be in good hands when you will take their pictures. Again, this might be a german thing.
Another nit picky thing, which might also be a technical issue, in your "professional headshot" section you announce the images as "crystal clear". At least on my system (FullHD 21.5" iMac with OS X 10.11.6 and Safari 11.1) the image you've chosen for this page seems a little soft, almost on the verge of being out of focus. I'm sure that's not the case with the original image, but the version on the page gives off that impression. So, maybe to underline the advertising idea of "crystal clear" a very slightly over sharpened image or a foto with a lot of resolvable details might better match with the text part. Another way is of course to come up with a different text.
Your writing style is drifting a little from business like concise information to a more easy going "just to let you know" kind of tone. So, in my opinion, this needs a little cleaning up to produce a more consistent impression overall.
Again, these are just things coming to my mind. If they're helpful, good. If you chose to ignore them, just as well. It's your site, your business and you'll know what you want. I'm in no position to tell you, you're wrong.
Thanks for the feedback, yeah I've not been happy with the content and layout of the products page. I'll be looking at redesigning this over the next week or so. I just cant seem to figure out how to remove the buying option but leave the image and wording, i think it's the setup of the template i'm using from Squarespace. Yip I also agree on the images chosen for the headshots, I need to get clearer, cleaner images uploaded on there.
It's all a work in progress and the wording is also a source of pain for me. I keep rewriting and changing it. That will also get sorted soon, I hope.....

Over the last year and a half I've been busy trying to get my photography business off the ground, tried re-branding, advertising and just getting nowhere.
On Monday I had a meeting with a professional marketing adviser. He specializes in photographers (He also runs his own photography business). So he knows what he's doing.
Since then we have both been very busy updating my social media and website.
I would be very, very grateful if you could take 5 mins from your day to visit my site www.inyoniimages.com and if you get a chance and have facebook/instgram, please have a look at these also.
Any feedback or ideas you may have would be great.

Although I've been quiet on this site on and off for the last 2 years, my enthusiasm has returned, with that my desire to further develop my website and hopefully increase the number of new clients. I feel energized and enthused with the prospect of going semi pro in the very near future. i'm looking at getting more exposure within my area and across central Scotland. Fingers crossed my persistence and hard work will pay off.
Any advice, leads, words of wisdom would be welcome.
