Keep 1,2 and 7 the rest can go - just nothing aobut them indicates they should be on a porfolio.  Try to look at the camera more often so the viewer conects with YOU.  When your looking up in the air or in another direction "YOU" are not in the photo and the vacancy you left in the photo is not filled with enough to make up for it.

Alright

Only 3 of those are pro

One is a webcam, and the others I just took of myself with my digi cam.

Your Bio reads.
""I have experience, but I was referred to this site in order to receive more jobs.""

What do these images say about you?  That you are a professional with lots of experience (lots of images to prove it) and you have the highest standards?

UMMMMMMMMMM   no!

I did not intend a dialogue but
"What do these images say about you?"

This is the key question.  IT is better to have a few great images than fill up the screen with shots that do not flatter you or demonstrate any skill.  You will look better to most in this business with one two or three shots - rather then the web cam and self portraits.

When you get a chance gather some of the images which have been taken and put them on a CD or scan the printed copy into digital form.  In the meantime just show the images which present you in the best light

Good Luck

I agree with proshotphoto and IsabelAurora  scan in the "pro" shots you have and present a better port if you want to continue to get work and use this site to its fullest.  just my 2 cents
