Stage names for photographers

Stage names for photographers?
Why the hell not?

When you are just starting and your true name means nothing to anyone why not pick a catchy one? People name their studios after everything and anything. So a fake person's name is no different and it might actually help people remember it if it's easy enough to pronounce or it sounds like one they already know.

And where business is concerned, no big deal, it's called DBA in the US.

For a music photog, how about Emily McGarrigle? Of course, you may need to be my age to know who that is

As for you Mr William Campbell, you could use a Campbell soup can like design for your business card and other implements of corporate identity. People would remember that... Or to keep going with your screen name here which I kinda like, call yourself Hugh Hugh Campbell and make your logo UUWilliam. Just think, when people walk into your studio and ask Are you Hugh? you can always say Yes I am me... :lmao:

Come on, take advantage of being unknown to have some fun.

Best name I ever heard was when another bounty hunter came along with me and my bail bondsman cousin. Her name was Ima Gunnslinger.

 

[Naddy]

Well not a bad reconsider... but why not go with something simple... I'm Natalie Blanchette quite a long name for a photographer true but shortened it to Naddy's Pix.. Instead of pictures or photography. Or like someone else mentioned how about a studio name... what is your specialty go with it and make up a name from what you like to shoot example say you shoot portraits only .... Williams Portrait Studio sounds pretty good... Just an example.

Yeah, I have no clue who you're referencing.

I'll stick with Emily Rose for the time being... although, who knows... it may be turning people off by causing them to think I'm possessed...:evil:

Who the hell is Emily Rose, the possessed one?

Ok, goes to show one has to use a name that will work with the widest audience possible... I guess my Dirty Harry Studio: We shoot from the hip but we don't miss a shot would not work either... K, I'ma gonna start the Tom Cruise Photography: We may be short but our photo is grand...
