Put lots of key words in the meta tags. The more you add the more your site will match the search you put in

There are few things you can do to improve the search ranking of your site and one of the most important is making sure the site is accessible. Google likes accessible sites... this means that if you have flash content make sure there is some sort of fallback content on your site that is displayed to those that don't have flash, have flash disabled of if you have lots of textual content in your flash. Google indexes that fall back content.
Also make sure that the content on your site is consistent to what the site is meant to be about. If it's photography try and keep the content as closely related to photography as possible. This way any photography sites linking to you will help your rankings because those links are all relevant links. Your site is going to perform a lot better on the web if it has 100 links from other photography sites than 100 links from random websites.
With regards to your meta tags, make sure they too are relevant to your content. Also make sure those meta tags appear in your actual site content somewhere but do not overdo it. Make sure they are used appropriately. If you have 'landscape' as a meta tag, make sure it appears perhaps 5 or 6 times throughout your site. Don't saturate it as Google will recognize this as an attempt to cheat the system.
Make sure your navigation is textual and can be navigated by a search engine. If you have flash navigation make sure you have another version in your fallback content which is HTML only. Those html navigation links will be trawled by the search engine robots.
Make sure all your images have alt tags, your links have title tags.
Also try not to spam your site address on too many forums as this is considered bad form on the internet
Most of the advice I've given here related to pretty much all the good search engines and not just Google. Of course Google has it's own way of thinking and so this advice shouldn't be thought of as gospel, but it will get you started.
