I don't like the bottom part - it seems jarring.
And the homepage looks odd with the pictures coming up at the left hand side.
You need to keep all pages simple with no jarring or out of context content so I would get rid of all the pictures on the homepage and move the intro to the left.
And I'd also remove the Nikon logo - it serves no useful purpose so should go.
Also I would lose all mention of Flickr within the pictures - that could be part of the navigation at top - if necessary at all.
And I don't like having to press a button to start the slideshow when I have already chosen to go to that page.
You need to make sure that your site looks totally professional and at the moment, IMO, it doesn't because of the above mentioned drawbacks.
However the photos I have seen look very good.

^ Sounds advice.
Also, the text on the home page is difficult to read. I think it's because it is jpeg with words as opposed to text in html format

Don't know why you would do that?

The photos look nice, sharp and clean.
Sadly the site is quite old fashioned (reminds me of early table driven html sites where people would use the images of text rather than real text).
From a search engine point of view all of those images of text are suicide, there is not a single piece of real text for a search engine to crawl. Frames driven sites are also not a great form an seo perspective.
The page is kinda lost, if i open it in full screen the menu tries to span across the middle, however the logo stays left so looks, well cheap and shoddy sadly, which is completely opposite to the quality image your service is trying to portray.
If you really wanted to use a particular font, you could use a service like typekit to use some really nice fonts, but they are still plain text so are completely crawlable.
Personally as you are working with young up and coming actors i would want something a bit more impressive and get your clients to spam you around there facebook and twitter accounts and do the advertising for you, but without that level of site its probably an uphill struggle.
