I know my portfolio is all over the place so far, as I'm still exploring the kinds of shoots I want to do more of. That said, I'd love feedback on specific images that work or don't work along with why you think so. Thanks!

Grouping your photos (windows, b/w, figures. color, portraits) would give your portfolio a cohesiveness it does not now have.

I would agree with above comment.
I would take the top 4 pics and put them on the bottom the work after the 4 I think is much stronger.

OP, overall, I liked your port.  Though, there were a few I don't get and a few I think could be removed.

--I wasn't feelin' this one.  Too cluttered.  I like the other 2 with the solo talents.

--I don't see anything interesting in these.

--I understand you're trying different things, but, until you can produce stronger headshots, I'd remove these.  On top of that, they feel way out of place with the rest of the images.

--A couple of my favorite ones.

I agree with Black Eddie, but especially concerning your snapshot pics.  Keep them in your desk drawer if you must.  You haven't got the focus thing down.  Work on getting sharpness and later placement of sharpness. Your composition skills are coming along.  Oh, and as far as being all over the place, I can see you converging.   If that's what you want, then you're good.  Me?  I want to go a different direction each shoot.

You are a pretty good photographer, but your cropping is your achilles heel

The first three rows of photos largely fail on so-so cropping (usually not tight enough).  The rest of the portfolio is a pleasure to study.
