    Yep. The person I know who does a lot of magazine, advertising work and also exhibits just uses their name for the same reasons.

    Howdy! 3 of my good friends are photographers... successful ones at that, who do a lot of work for big publications, artists/actors and have there work in many top galleries. They all go by their name. The thing is, as a photographer you're not selling a product or service as such... You're selling yourself, your personal creativity, your unique way of seeing the world through a hole - so it's important the client instantly knows you're the one taking the photos. The other reason, is that a lot of work comes from recommendations and having your work seen. This is why you need the credit to be in your name rather than an abstract company name. It gives you more recognisable exposer. Just a thought.

    Good thinking Keith but she thought about all of that. First, her name is boring (she says) and looking in the phone book there are sooooo many photographers with the name or name photography, etc. She thought she would just be one more. OK.. if you have a name like Ansel Adams.. that's something else.. But I do get your point that she is selling herself and her talent and, if she was selling her paintings, it would be under her name but.... she just doesn't like that thought.. I guess she thinks she wants something to reflect her vision... until, of course, the day she has an exhibition in a top gallery, then she'll go by name!

    She can always change her name to Esmerelda Biggleswade-Smithers then. :cool:
