Welcome aboard, some nice stuff you've got in your portfolio!

Hey, welcome Kris.

 

I see a huge discrepancy between your Luxury Chocolate images and the Roombath. In the LC everything is perfect - textures, seductive lighting, mood created, etc. where as with the RB the lighting is glare-y, the wood is lifeless, the steel is too silvery, the camera is pointed down to a hot spot on the floor, wood grain looks oversized on the floor.

 

The same principles and standards of product viz apply to Arch-viz. I would remove it until it you get it up to the same level of quality of your other work.

 

I know you're saying you're just beginning in this genre but it's just that it makes your portfolio look inconsistent.

 

Uh-oh......................I hope you take criticism well and this doesn't become a repeat of a heated thread we had last week.

Bit harsh, given he did that in 2011 and his "krete house" is considerably better.

I realize that; the ONLY point I'm making is that it throws the portfolio off balance when everything else looks so professional.

 

I also said the Luxury Chocolate series was amazing.

Great work, though a bit wonky on the navigation of your site. You really need to direct link to your images from the banners. For example, the Krete House project. Clicking on the banner takes you to a larger banner and not the site with the images. You have to find the check it button at the bottom to see the project. My first action was to click the banners, not the button or the title text.

 

I almost gave up on viewing the rest of your images as I don't have the time to go button hunting. You need the easiest way to get to your images or else people who have to slog though portfolio after portfolio during a hiring crunch are just going to give you a pass. Which is a darn shame when the quality of your work is more than enough to warrant a call back.

Now is it just me, or did you make a desk out of a chocolate box? I like that kind of efficiency.
