hi I run group shoots in the uk all year round
the main problem I find (have been a pro for 28years) is that you all
seem to do your photography
in your 'armchair'
so
people get of your bums come on a 'real shoot' check out the web site

When I'm sitting down I'm design decent websites!

You may be a professional earning your living from photography but your web
site is awful. Trying to bait people here isn't going to get anyone signing
up for a shoot with you no matter how good you may be.

Take a look at the sites posted here to see decent sites and active
photographers taking images in as many genres there are.

One constructive comment: your written English is terrible! There may be a
good reason for that- dyslexia or whatever- but you do need to address it.
Don't be offended, you must be aware of this. Find someone who can put it
right.

As a copywriter Mark it's not a matter I have issue with but perhaps it's
something you evidently have.

How about on the front page "Water/sailing theme's". On the second page
"credential's" and "award's". Why the apostrophes? I know that a lot of
people have problems with apostrophes, but to promote a pro site it
would be worth getting the copy checked.

Eh? What about all those grocer's apostrophes, orphan clauses, spelling
mistakes and the rest? Surely you wouldn't get away with writing like that?

James Joyce and George Orwell both had an editor who did all that
for them. That accident prone American clown who covered the
Spanish Civil war wrote to a friend expressing jealousy about his
friends ability to spell correctly and bemoaning the fact that
his spelling, grammar and syntax were woe full. They were still
great authors.
Maybe spelling and grammar are some what over rated. It could be
that there is something other than the bare mechanics of
writting. But that's only my opinion.

That's all a marvellous example of why top-posting is a bad idea.

Cheers,
Luke

Perhaps better spelling, punctuation and grammar would enable you to
get your message across in a more effective way?  Have you thought of
attending adult literacy classes?   Many local colleges offer them.
