I'm looking to start my photography business but I'm confused as to what I should call it. Out of the list below, which do you think is the best name for my photography business (I take photos of people in all kinds of events)? and do you have any other ideas? Thank you so much

It's your business you need to choose the name that best suits you and your business.

In my opinion pick a name that stands out from the crowd.

For example in the city I live in there is someone with the name:
Shoot or be Shot Photography. <-- I see that and I personally would go check them out faster then I would John Doe Photography or a name like you have listed below.

I use to go under DK Photography, but then I thought about what I can name my business that also represents the city I live in. Edmonton, Alberta is also known as Wild Rose Country, someone already has Wild Rose Photography. So I was looking around and by chance I was playing with a deck of cards and it clicked "Wildcard Photography"


Just something that may help you, good luck.

What photography do you currently do and what goals do you have for additional markets? This would be helpful information.
A name is not that important to be honest. I've seen some with odd names, but have a lot of business. It's all about marketing.

Most people just go with their Name Photography. Some people have non-catchy names, so they may alter it slightly. Are these names even available? It would be worth checking into. I'd be sad if I created something only to find out later that a competitor had the same name 5 years before I started.

Creative Images Photography - It's assumed you have very creative images compared with the competition
Flawless Images - What if they are not flawless? Would some be disappointed? Hard to live up to such a name.

Same with a few of the others. It might not be the best description.

The most important thing in a name is that it's not already taken. (May it be registered or part of an incorporated company).

I have two passions in life. Teaching yoga and photography. What's everyone's opinions on combining these to make my life easy?? I already have a name picked out. But do you all think it would take away from one side or the other to combine these??
