.photography — should you use it?
Generic TLD · introduced 2014
The short answer
Long but literal — a photographer's portfolio explains itself. .photos is the shorter sibling.Why it works
- Unmistakable profession signal
- Good availability for names
Why it might not
- 11-character TLD
- Casual clients may still expect .com
The longer take
name.photography reads like a business card. If length bothers you, .photos and .pictures exist, though they read slightly more like galleries than businesses.
