Please be realistic and learn the ins and outs of photography and business before jumping into making money. It’s not as simple as you’re making it out to be.

Would this all be considered "Digital Media"?

Yes it is! I use all those programs and I’m a Digital Art/Graphics Art/Film producer major… and yeah those are part of Digital Media.

"It can refer to the technical aspect of storage and transmission (e.g. hard disk drives or computer networking) of information or to the "end product", such as digital video, augmented reality or digital art."

Which of these sounds like the one you would click on first in a google search? Which conveys best what we do, our originality, our services? Do you have other suggestions?

thank you for your time!
im not trying to increase traffic to my site, its not meant to make money. its to advertise my services, and attract actual clients.

Also, "Vanité" is usually more associated with bathroom vanities in French, so it doesnt quite translate well into vanity as in self-obsession in one’s beauty.

in the local professional photography business, most are called "John Smith Photography". So anything that isn’t a person’s name is "creative".Although our specialty is glamour/fantasy, the big bucks will always come from simple family/chidren portraits, so it can’t be too different and scare away those clients either. It needs the right balance.

None of these names are particularly trendy or creative. And to me, urban means more of a landscape/place type photographer – one who shoots cityscapes and buildings, not glamor shots and people. The closest to your business theme is Vanity, but that might turn people off. How about using the word in French – i.e. Vanite

Not a good way to ask people for anything and certainly not a question that I am inclined to help you on.

Based on the Hasselblad H2 camera with its range of high performance, digital central shutter-based lenses, and featuring extended features, such as DAC lens optimization and Instant Approval Architecture, the Hasselblad H2D-39 is the world’s first high-end, 39 megapixel, digital auto-focus camera. Compatible with the entire range of Hasselblad H System lenses, the world finest digital lenses, as well as the Hasselblad V camera lens system, the H2D-39 brings the highest level of integration and flexibility to the professional photographer.

The new Hasselblad 39 megapixel digital back products include the Hasselblad CFH-39, CF-39 and CF-39MS, and have been built to meet the needs of professionals who require the best, for both mobile and studio shooting. The 39 megapixel digital back products match the design and functionality of the Hasselblad H2 camera and the Hasselblad CFH-39 digital back fits onto view cameras using the H-system interface plate for mechanical attachment and flash sync connection to trigger digital capture. The CFH-39 also fully integrates with the power system of the Hasselblad H2, so that both camera and digital back can be powered by the H2’s Li-ion battery.

The Hasselblad CF-39 line of digital backs offers 39 megapixel digital capture with Hasselblad’s interchangeable camera interface, the i-Adapter, and the option of true color multi-shot capture. In a studio environment, the color resolution of captures can be increased by means of a unique multiple-exposure technique controlled by the optional Multi Shot Module (patent pending). The result is unique color resolution and absolutely moiré free images.

The one thing I haven’t seen in "professional" photography in a while is a working knowledge of exposure, art, or any influences that are not on Flickr. There are more megapixels than new ideas these days.

@Tim, yes and thank you.

I’m really trying not to go over a budget of about $1200 so I was thinking about the Studio XPS 16 by Dell. Let me know what you think about that one and definitely suggestions on Hard drive size and memory and whatever else, all suggestions are well appreciated.

Almost all photographers I know around here all have Macs. I don’t what it is about macs but it seems like it’s just so easy to organize all your photographs and just looks like a great laptop for it. I suggest maybe checking out Macs and see how you like them.

Please enlighten me on the matter!

And if you want to be really helpful, help me figure out what body camera I should get [:

I have no idea how this photography business works (as you clearly see)

I guess you have never hiked with a camera before.

I carry a dSLR with battery grip, a super wide angle lens, a macro lens and a 24-85 mm lens when I hike. I carry at least seven memory cards, one in the camera and a sixpak in a holder. I also carry one battery charger I use to charge the batteries when at the motel before the next days hiking adventure.

Basically you will want to learn how to use your camera before taking it on a hike or any traveling adventure.

It will take you a minimum of a few weeks sitting with your camera in your lap and the user manual in hand to learn how to use the camera without fumbling all over the place trying to use it, so buy it in plenty of time before you intend to use it

At this time, the most purchased dSLR cameras are the Nikon D5100 and Canon 600D. Both cost under $1,000 and have all the features a proficient photographer will require,.
