business name

[mrbojangles13]

i am in the process of coming up with my own business name. one of the most important things to your sucess IMO. its the first impression of the business world. i have been sitting on this for quite some time now trying to get it right. i want to get into fashion/ port building/ beauty and glamour work and some portraits. a popular business name equation seems to be "your name" + photography. well i wanted to be a little differant. my name is nick noker and well... the first idea i came up with was N squared photography (like in math).
thought about it... its cool its personal... its not "my name" + photography. i kinda took a break from the name idea and while driving one day "caged photography" hit me..... caged photography, capturing beauty, capturing THE look.. the capturing thing can go on and on. you get the idea. then i was thinking on the "caged". well what about encaged? or trapt? just wondering what all you guys thought?

To me, "caged" gives the impression of being restrictive, not creative.

My 2 cents.

Got to agree with the above about it sounding restrictive, although, for the work you're getting into it might just have that edginess that might make it work.

Going back to your name the first thing that came to me was "N2 Photography".. N2, two N's (obviously).. but sounds like "In To Photography".

I'm rubbish with names though and wish I had thought of a better one myself.

Good Luck!

my thinking was caged.... capturing that perfect shot and all. i dunno

The word 'caged' gives me a bad connotation of being trapped (animals in a zoo). Same with 'encaged' or 'trapped/trapt.' Sorry.

What about:
Noker Studios
N2 Images
