trading name help please.
 

Hey all,

A bit of help if you don't mind. i am in the process of moving towards making (or at least trying) to make money from photography, however i am really struggling with coming up with a trading name. all the obvious ones have already been taken, wondering if anyone can come up with any ideas?

My details

Name: James Champion
Location: south coast (Bournemouth/new forest)

Not doing any particular photography, plan is to keep options open, sport, music, weddings, portraits etc.

Ideas so far,

Ones already taken

-James Champion Photography - (the obvious but already taken)
-JC photography / JCphoto - (again already taken)
-champion photography (taken and really dont like it any way)

Ones that i have thought of and are currently available.

-Photography by James (not sure if this is a bit cheesy)
-Studio Champion (again not sure if a bit cheesy)
-jchampion photo
-Studio JC
-james Champion (just the name on its own, no photo or photography


That is about all i have come up with, what do you all think? or if you have any other ideas that would be appreciated!

JC photography studios (hmm, a bit like jesus christ though)

You need something to get you good exposure, but nothing too flash. Will your studio have curtains on the Windows or shutters.

You don't want anything to frame you in a negative light. Capturing the subject's imagination is the secret to a snapping up business.

using the JC thing is my biggest issue, i think that some people (i.e tigersaw) will think jesus! and that is obviously not what i am after. I am quite after just using my name, as not only is a name a good advert imo, but my name is quite unique (even though there is another james champion, who is a photographer!!!) and therefore is memorable point for clients. i am just so not sure, once i choose it i am kind of stuck!
