Which sounds more professional and what is your opinion about this for a photography business?
Portraits by Beth
Photographs by Beth Thanks for all the help. I kinda felt the same way about the word Portraits but I just needed some input.
And I'm not trying to use a cheesy name or cheap catchphrase like someone said. That's why I am using my name. If my name sounds cheesy then I think that was a rude comment. Thanks everyone else for your help! Portraits by Beth would sound great if all you did with photography is portraits...I prefer what I use, since I am not limited to portraits:
"photography by (myname)". If you are only shooting portraits, then Portraits by Beth is appropriate.
If on the other hand you are also going to provide wedding coverage or commercial, editorial or other work, then Photography by Beth makes more sense. for a photography business i would use
photography by beth.
portraits can be photos, acrylics, oils, chalk, pen or whatever and is not specific enough.
if i saw an ad that said 'portraits by beth' i do not think it would draw my attention as much as the one i suggested. Why not try "Images by Beth"? It covers a full range of photographic subjects if you are not a portrait specialist. ok your looking for a cheesy name or cheap catch phrase
a cheesy name or cheap catch phrase is a a cheesy name or cheap catch phrase, the great fotogs use their name and thats it,
i like images by beth, but i would prefer Beth XXXX Photographer...........i just use my name it tends to work - im not ansell adams or anne geddes but i know they didnt use cheesy names
just food for thought
