Out of the last 2 posted I would go with the first one only because I have no clue what smooth photography is and since you don't want me talking porn I can't even guess.
I do like the angle of the second one better.

I have no clue what smooth photography is

Well it does sound better than "Missed Focus Photography".

The term smooth photography has no real meaning and in most of North America (unsure of your region) it would likely be considered cheesy.

I wouldn't add any other words to photography unless it has something to do with the type of photos you capture i.e. Wildlife Photography, Portrait Photography, Pet Photography.

I like the logo without the word smooth. I would just level the Logo and Name.

i see, all of us want to be 'unique', get out of the thousands the same stereotypes name photography, i want to put something different, where people will remember and come back because of that, easy to find, we know it is not enough to create nice pictures, we have to fight for customers get them and show them that we have got it what they need, am i wrong?
thank you zombiesniper for explaining

Well smooth is generally considered the opposite of sharp, so probably not the best wording choice since sharp is something people desire in pictures they are paying money for in most cases. I'm not sure what you are wishing to convey with the word "smooth" but if can elaborate maybe we can suggest some better alternatives.

sure, i will consider more sharp wordplay.
i hope this is not only about logo, and others starting businnes can gain something from this topic

I like the last best, but not particularly the location of your name. Smooth doesn't get me all excited ... but I see your point of separating yourself from the masses. In that regards Smooth works. I recommend you trademark "Smooth Photography", name the company Smooth Photography and name your web site Smooth Photography. The pink, doesn't do a lot for me, but I understand the desire for contrast. While the pink is flashy, it also is weak and does not convey strength or solid especially in that font. I'd make "CS" a bit smaller, toss your name over PHOTOGRAPHY and find a color and font equally or near equally as eye-catching but a bit more solid.

Or go horizontal, a smaller CS on the left, Carlos Santino inserted into the C of the CS and Smooth Photography on the right ... or even reverse that again a smaller CS but on the right with Smooth Photography two line, flush right, on the left.

Remember in marketing, when people will only see something for a few seconds, less is more.

When you decide on your logo make a very large one and then save it as an eps vector file so it will be saved as curves and not as pixels so it scales to any size easily.

If you like, I'll help you work one up. I do that for a living and will help you for free as one starving artist to another.

Thank you Watchful,
I am working with AI that everything is vector, wordpress and most browsers cannot read eps files, that I have be careful with the letter size or composition to be visible when is small.

Shapes of CS are done, I do not want to move out letters as there are disturbing. Returning to 'smooth' following cambridge dictonary: having a surface or consisting of a substance that is perfectly regular and has no holes, lumps, , happening without any sudden changes, interruption, or difficulty, very polite, confident, and able to persuade people.
How to in one word tell the people you doing well, on the time, and you know what you doing ?

No, you create the logo as an eps, it's the industry standard for logo design work so it can be sized to any size without jaggies.
You don't use the original EPS file to post on the web, you convert to .png (portable network graphic so the colors and transparencies work with the browsers.
The EPS is used by designers to create layouts of various sizes and for different formats, ie. print, web, email, etc.
