Assuming that she is just "another woman with a camera" is a bit sexist and indicative of your own insecurity as a photographer.

I don''t care who you are, that there's funny coming in a post that starts out with "This chick..."

I know I’m late joining this conversation, but I have to addsome suggestions to kmorr1121’s post in March……..

Does this person really think she’s ready for the bigtime? I mean seriously, you can’t evencome up with a name for your “business”??? Clearly you are not ready to call yourself a “photographer” because itappears you lack any amount of creativity. Your word “cutsie” should never be used when discussing any aspect ofthe photography “profession” unless you are truly an amateur. Perhaps you should stick to doing whatapparently you do best: stay-at-home-soccer-mom who is just looking for a hobby.AMATEUR.

...And who are you? Great way to make friends with your fist post.

I'm insulted, that's who I am....

We owe it to ourselves as professional photographers to maintain the integrity of our chosen profession. That's not to say that a person can't have natural talent in an area, or be able to have great composition in the frame, without having studied the art of photography. Not true at all. However, as a trained, formally educated photographer, it just infuriates me that anyone can pick up a point-and-shoot disposable camera and call him/herself a "photographer."

Having paid my dues in this profession, being an assistant for many years post-graduation from an actual art school of photography, I'm also doing this "chick" a favor in the long run. The real world is hard-core and cruel, so KMM1121 needs to thicken her skin considerably and be ready for war. I only hope she knows that the current photography market is saturated with wannabe's who do weddings, seniors, maternity, and boudoir........

Boy, Kat. Your gonna ****ing LOVE this forum.

 

[mirrorrim]

Well I will help her out:

"Your Location" Photography
Use your initials and your friends initials "K and __" Photography
Use a phrase related to photography: Aperture studio, Shutterbug Pictures, Viewfinder Studio
Use a phrase from another language that can describe your personality, style, or work ethic: Bonita, Belissima, Aloha...Photography

hahahaha... this forum is inundated by the species MWACus MORONus (excuse the poor attempt at humor)! If they bug you that much, it can get very frustrating here!

Welcome, btw!

I think many of the "new" pro's should used something descriptive about the quality of their work, in their business names! (words like Underexposed, overexposed, out of focus, or my favorite "badly lit"? Wouldn't that be more accurate?) Not aimed at the OP necessarily, but at the many "Professionals" that ask such simple beginner questions here!

I didn't realise choosing a name had so much to do with how qualified you are as a photographer. Learn something new everyday. I'd say trashing other people online like you intended with your stay at home soccer mom remark is also not something a professional should do.

I disagree.. the new trend for amateurs to call themselves professional and charge for crap photography, is causing a large percentage of the public to assume that most if not all photographers are are incompetent idiots!

If we don't try to police our own ranks.. then one of the days, after enough complaints.. the government will step in and do it for us! That would almost be a relief though! Imagine having to prove you were competent before being issued a business license???

Good grief, did everyone get up on the wrong side of the darkroom this morning? Let's lighten up a little shall we? The OP indicated that she has six years of professional exprience; her initial posting in the wrong forum might be just a mistake, and, until we know the quality of her work, let's not castigate her too badly. I really don't think that simply asking for suggestions for a business name on a photography forum warrants this level of crapping-upon.

Bring it on! :thumbup:
