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?

So I would add, your business name is part of your brand identity. Your brand is your all-encompassing reputation. Think of a name that markets what you do with some wiggle room to grow.

Something to think about, lets say you do the first + last + photography and you become successfull. When you’re ready to retire or move on, the business dies when you quit. However, if successful and have regular clients, you could sell the business and all the brand image you built if it was something tied to your name.
