~$20–30/yr
Our rating
3/5
Since
2014
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.
