'How do I center my project images? They seem to want to stay to the left, I don't know how to fix it

I'm having issues centering the images under "My Projects" section. I would really appreciate it if anyone could give me some tips to center them. It does however stay centered when the dimensions are responsive, but when it's at full-screen it will only stay to the left. How do I change the code such that images will stay centered, with consideration for more images in the future.

Solution 1:[1]

I've solved your problem. Just replace your CSS of .portfolio with the below code.

    .portfolio {
       display: flex;
       flex-direction: row;
       justify-content: center;
       align-items: center;
       width: 100%;
       padding: 5px;
    } 

Solution 2:[2]

You have left one <div class="container"> open so first please fix it and than make below changes:

 .portfolio {
   flex-direction: row;
flex-wrap: no wrap;
display: flex;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
   justify-content: center;
   width: 100%;
   padding: 5px;
}
