I would call Photoshop is an application rather than a program.
'About you' section needs to be a sales pitch rather than a statement of fact. Include something about being able to work as part of a team as well as on your own. Motivated/self starter etc etc.
The next section should be key achievements or maybe move up the photography experience to here and rename Professional Phototgraphy Experience or similar.
Although not relevant to the role, you should include some employment history (assuming you have some) as it shows you are reliable, able to hold down a job etc.
I personally think that references should only be included at this stage if the names are widely recognisable ie name dropping. Otherwise leave them out until asked.
Do you think the sample images adequately show the range of your capabilities or will you tailor them depending on the role applied for? I think the quantity chosen is correct though.
Generally I like the overall style, clear, easy to read, relatively brief. You just need to sell yourself a bit more e.g. well versed in Photoshop should be very experienced in Photoshop or something similar.
Good luck

The images are tailored to the role, which is currently portraits
I'm adding in the work experience stuff. I didn't really think a CV for a photography job would look good listing web design work but as you say, shows I can hold a job. Even if each company I've worked for failed
I'll try and work on the selling myself thing. I dunno what it is but I've never been good at selling myself.
