Am I stuck with Slim Shady?
I suppose that the point now is that I am to actually update. Aside from some self-portrait headshots I did the other evening to accompany an image of mine that will be published in a 2008 calendar (apologies to everyone who will then be staring at my mug for 31 long days in March), I haven’t taken a single photo since a week ago Tuesday. That’s been fine as I’ve been adjusting to the new computer and, for the first time (despite much trauma earlier), actually backing up all of my photos. I’ve also been doing a good deal of reading all kinds of material about running a photography business (very much digging Hey Girl, Nice Shot which details her journey through the process).
I’m not at the point yet where I am ready to make this a full-blown thing but I am seeing and feeling that I’m ready to take some steps in that direction. Establish a set process, maybe draw up some rates, have some cards available. My main obstacle at this point is a name. I don’t want to just use my full name as a business name because…well…I have a boring name. But the very few ideas I’ve come up with have either already been take or are, ahem, scandalous and skeezy clubs of the 70s (who knew?) I don’t want anything too cutesy and I’m hoping to come up with a name that could encompass the other non-photography related freelance work I do. Should I be worried that my creative processes are stumped at step one?
