Business Name Brainstorming...

[K.Stockdale]

So, I'm trying to start a little side project/photography company to build some revenue.
I'm having trouble coming up with names and could use some help.
does anyone know any good ways to brainstorm company names etc?
I'm not much with creative wording and such

Something with a number and a word, no spaces. Seems to be what every gay photographer in my town does.

Of course you can insert any number and gay word of your liking.

Yea I've kind of bullshit shot weddings for family members in the past but I've never had to come up with print packages or anything like that - which I think is kind of stupid, actually.

But why are weddings so scary lol

Because the happy couple, their family, and their friends are all depending on you to take the perfect shots. Fuck up and you've ruined a once in a lifetime ceremony.

Shadow someone and be a helper for a few weddings before you take one on by yourself.

Understandable. Maybe I'll keep away from weddings for now.

One slip, one missed button, calculation... incorrect shutter speed, ISO adjusted to outside rather than inside... is my flash bouncing off the roof, or off the brides face... What card do I have in here... how full is it and how quickly can I change it to the next? What if it wipes itself? Do I have the right lense on...

These are all three second mistakes, three second mistakes it takes some people years to master and be comfortable with. The fact is, in those three seconds, you might miss the bride walking down the isle.. the couples wedding kiss.. or the exchange of rings

Thats why weddings are bullshit scary.. they deserve to be.

Understandable. Maybe I'll keep away from weddings for now.

Only one way to learn.. Just maybe don't take payment.. act as a secondary, till you believe in yourself enough. Get you a chance to boost your portfolio anyway.

That, plus you have to deal with these people for an entire day. Also, you don't get to pick and choose who your clients are (I guess technically you could), so more often than not they'll be totally non-photogenic.

They'll have the ceremony in a fucking church, so you'll get no light to work with. Then they'll have the reception outside, but it will be either raining or night time.

Not to mention the bride will be a complete bitch all day, and you'll be forced to put up with her ALL. DAY.

Then, you'll get home and have 1,400 pictures to sort through and edit. Hopefully in some of them the bride won't look fat and you'll successfully be able to hide the groom's lazy eye.





fuck. that. shit.
