Fiddling with name ideas...Thoughts?

[yalborap]

So, as you all know, I'm hoping to go professional soon. One thing that I've been stuck with is the name. I do have a few ideas, though, so let's get started!

FIGURATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY - I like this one, myself. Plus, it has a nice pun in that the graphic can be an action figure based on a camera. The issue is that it's been taken. Lots of times over. This is highly problematic.

LIGHT ENHANCING DUDE PHOTOGRAPHY - Nobody else I've asked likes this one. To be honest, it's mainly for the LED pun, which would relate to the graphic being an actual LED.

LENS SLINGER PHOTO - Still kinda torn on this one. I think it sounds cool, though.

What do you guys think? Am I going down the right path namewise, or do I need to look at it from another angle entirely?

i think a different angle... the last two seem.. odd.

the first is possibly the right direction.
my only question is.. what are you spe******ing in?
weddings? indoor portraits? events?

maybe more light could be shed with a clarification

My advice? Whatever name you decide upon try to make sure it's available as a .com as you'll probably need one in this day and age. It's annoying to folks who know you're called 'figurative photography' and seek you out on the web for a look at your portfolio or whatever and yet they encounter someone or something completely different - it's also potentially lost business.

I think you're on the right lines with figurative photography or something of that nature rather than the others - but if you can come up with something creative then so much the better!

I don't have much of a specialization at the moment, honestly. I'm still piecing the vaguest concepts together.
