One photography brand for sports + portraits, or keep them separate?
I shoot both sports and lifestyle/portraits. Photography is my main focus, but I occasionally do some graphics and video too.
Right now I’m stuck between “[Name] Media” and “[Name] Photo.” I like “Media” for sports and because it gives me room to branch out, but I worry it sounds like I do more video/media work than I actually do. “Photo” makes it immediately obvious that I’m a photographer, but I’m not sure if it fits sports as well.
I’m also debating whether I should keep sports and portraits separate or just put everything under one brand/name. I’d honestly prefer having one Facebook, Instagram, website, etc. instead of trying to manage two separate brands, but I don’t know if mixing sports and portrait work would feel too all over the place....
If you were in my position, would you:
- Put everything under [Name] Photo
- Put everything under [Name] Media
- Keep sports under Media and portraits under Photo
Does the name actually matter that much if my portfolio/bio clearly shows what I shoot? I might just be overthinking all of this lol?
