What's the difference?

[Rina Minca]

I know this is similar to artofindigo's question about names for a business, but I just have a general question about names. What's the difference between using the words "images" or "photography" or "photos" or "imagery" in a name? what conotations do each of these words send to the (potential) client?
Should there be a difference in what type of service you are providing? For portraits, or weddings, or commercial, or nature, or sports... Should that make a difference in the name, if so, what difference?

For example, what's the differnce between all of these:
Rina's Images
Rina's Imagery
Photography by Rina
Rina Photography
Rina's Photos

I simplified the name and it's not my real name, so this is totally hypothetical.

Thanks.

if you do more graphic design I'd lean more towards "images" if you do more photography, then "photography" is in your name... so, it's really about what you are trying to convey about your business.

I have a few different names... mostly because I do websites and graphic design for printed media as well... but most of what I do is for the web... hence my company name Mind Imaging.

so, yes your name should have something to do with taking pictures but what you do with them... is more what people are looking for in a name. (my 0.02)

I went the Studios route. I do Web and graphics, but mainly photography, and in many cases all three mesh together. Just works.
