Is your head shot on your photography business cards?

7 years 11 months ago #477300 by Peter Nunez
I'm ordering new cards and trying to decide if I want to add a shot of my mug on my cards.  I know some photographers do this and especially realtors.  

Where do you stand?  Is your head shot on your business card?

I don't have my headshot on my cards, of course I'm new to the game so perhaps I don't know the advantages of doing so. It just seemed to be a cleaner, simpler look without my face messing things up.

I'd avoid it. In fact, I'd avoid having any photo on your business card. It's such a small space and no matter how great your head shot is, it just won't have a lot of impact in such a small space. I'd opt to have a well designed card with great typography instead.

+1 on going without the photo. Will look better without.

Nope, not on mine.  However a buddy of mine has his on the front of the card.

Great topic - yes is my answer. Mostly because I go to a lot of tradeshows and networking events...

I used to, however my new cards I don't.  I went with metal business cards this time around.

Nope, my cards just have a icon of camera and my information.    Pretty basic.
