Hoping someone can help with this. As I'm not up with all the things that can be done with Facebook.
I currently have a personal facebook page that is used for family and close friends. I want to add a page that will be just for my photography.
1. Deciding on 'Business' or 'Artist' for for the new page - is it important as to which one I choose?
2. I currently use lightroom to upload to Facebook. Can I set this up to upload to this new page?
3. I have friend requests from people that don't fit into my personal page of family/close friend and I would like to friend them on the new page only. Can this be done?

You don't friend a fan page, you like it. Setup a fan page, and invite anyone that you want to be be fans to like it.
Read the Facebook user agreement carefully. I was recently told that Facebook owns everything that is posted there, and that includes all photos. I have not verified that for myself, but I would check it out carefully before uploading all my photos.

Will check that. Maybe I should just update my flickr page and work with that.
You don't give up copyright it's one of those scary stories, you grant Facebook a license to display the picture otherwise they'd be breaking the law showing it to other ppl.
I watermark all my photos on my photo page as fb does allow downloading
facebook is a natural extension to any marketing efforts, especially for photography. even so, approach it with caution.
i'd recommend using it more as a teaser to get people to visit your primary website. put an image, or a handful of images, and provide a link to where people can see all the goodies, as well as have an opportunity to buy things from you. granted, your website might not have all the warm-and-fuzzy-share-the-cuteness that facebook has, but, on the other hand, YOU OWN your site and YOU have control over things in a way that you never will have with facebook...
