A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Using a different last name for my photography business? (alien.top)

So my name is taken as far as usernames and websites go so I want to replace the s in my last name with a z and just go by that. For example: Dave Herzberg instead of Dave Hersberg. (Not my real last name.)

Which then will give me… www.daveherzberg.com + usernames.

Will misspelling my name matter at all in terms of business?

Personally. Find the whole "first name last name photography" cliche as f***. Plus will make it harder for you to do 2 events at same time and outsource an associate shooter, as people be like "I hired Harry Smith photography and I got a josh shooting my wedding".

Yeah, but I'm super shitty at coming up with names, so FirstLastPhotography is better than anything I could possibly come up with.

Especially since all the good puns are taken. :p
