Its an effective design and gets its point across without too much flambouyant art... which is fantastic for a photography website, as you really want the pictures to do the talking. The black background offsets quite nicely against the colourful pictures too, which makes them stand out even better. The white text is a tad too stark for my liking though - perhaps you should tone that down a bit? I look forward to seeing you fill your website with your work soonish...
