I would go with a simplistic photo, and simplistic font.
When it comes to bidness cardz, less is certainly more for me. ;-)
I tend to agree. Personally, I would go with a much cleaner look without a photo however, I understand having it since so many photographers do that. I just think it defeats the purpose, which is to communicate your business name and contact info, period. If I was handed your card I would probably remember your cool looking photo but not your name. Conversely, if someone gave me just a white card with only their name in red and their info on the back, what do you think I will remember if I lose that card? Their name or at least part of their name which could help me figure out who you were vs a memory of a photo to go by. Anyway, just my two cent.
Arcanist,
I agree that a simple photo would be better, and I am still not wild about the font on your redo either. I assume that you are advertising for mostly landscape type prints? If not you may also want to think about a different picture.
Yanko,
I had never thought of it that way...but you are right. I think I will change my business card in the near future. I am also going to make a specific one for just weddings. I do believe I will follow your advice.
