[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 232308, member: 9240"] Nice shots. I'm going through the same mental gymnastics as I decide whether to stick with "Backdoor Hippie Photography" as I look to go into business. I've avoided using my name because my brother is a long standing pro news photographer in the area, and I don't want to confuse things since our last name isn't exactly common. But I also think that the "brand" I've adopted for myself as a writer and musician may not translate well when offering, say, professional product or real estate photography since "Hippie' term doesn't automatically instill an air of confidence or professionalism. I'm leaning towards either just using my name, with my brother's permission, or branding as BDH Photography, with the latter being most likely. So yeah, I understand your line of thinking. My take is that it's probably more off-putting to the prospective client than the one who has already hired you, so if you're going on word of mouth then the name likely won't matter. [/QUOTE]
