So I'm about to launch my website in getting serious about photography

But I play to do all my work under a fictitious pen name based off a famous character.

I'm doing this becuase of my own personal experiences and anxiety also I feel my birth name isn't marketable brandwise.

So if I use a famous fictitious character as my name for my body of work do i have a chance of getting sued, also will it come across a still if I do this.

I also plan to release music under this moniker but photography will be my prime gig

Sorry if this seems silly to ask
>>
>>3099084
use a character that already is free of rights. like sherlock holmes or something. or maybe youre going to get sued by the owners of that gay tv show?

call yourself either something greek or latin. or a mispelled name of a famous photog/character.
>>
by the way, you dont want to look what 2017 thora birch looks like.
>>
Do you need the confidence of that fake name being a character? I would choose something simple but rememberable for a name and just go by that. Like ken or maybe jason.
>>
>>3099088
See I was thinking about misspelling but I can't seem to do it without coming across like a porn star. Because all I can think of is doubling letter.

My thing is you can't trademark a name? Plus I like the connotations that come with the original character's name rather than mashing up 2 names together.

My heart is really set on the name I'm just worried that it'll come across as silly and not as cool as it seemed in my head, also getting sued
>>
>>3099096
tell the gay ass name already you fuck.

if you dont call yourself Snapshits McGee, youre totally not gonna make it.
>>
>>3099098
It's either gonna be

Laura Palmer
Lux Lisbon
Laura Lisbon
Laura Edith Lisbon

All fictional characters I relate to in one way or another

It's pretty gay but it works into the brand I'm building so it do not matter. Plus I feel like being a guy working under a traditional female name would draw in more people I.E. the producer SOPHIE
>>
>>3099103
this is kind of a lame gimmick and i cringe every time I see it

don't do it if it's just for attention, that's cynical. do it if it matches your identity/expression
>>
>>3099103
Laura Palmtree. do it.
>>
>>3099105
Yea I'm doing it becuase it fits the brand I'm building.

My birth name is about as generic as John Smith but not generic enough that it actually sounds cool like John Smith.
>>
>>3099109
if your gender expression isn't nonbinary, then don't do it. fuck a brand
>>
>>3099084
Yeah, don't do that. If you're gonna use a "stage name" use something unique. Why compete for attention when people are searching for that character?
>>
>>3099111
I'm using a female name I'm dead set on that. That's not going away I don't identify as a girl or NB but I feel they fit my personality more than most masculine names and overall sound better.
>>
>>3099103
if you want to be a tranny, be a tranny, this isnt how that works
>>
ITT anon wants to come out the closet but "artistically".

suck a cock already dude, thats your way, not this fancy website pulsional sublimation attempt.
>>
>its another "I'm a tranny and my trannyness is the basis of my work" "artist"
Don't.

hey OP, ever crosdressed? might be right up your alley, if youre honest enough.

think something in the style of cindy sherman or alex prager.
>>
Oh FFS. Just use your first name or a nickname, then.

Also, what kind of photos are you going to post to your site? And do you plan on ever offering photographic services, like doing portraits or weddings?
>>
>>3099160
>And do you plan on ever offering photographic services
>"Oh lets call Laura Palmer to take our newborns photos, i like her name, sounds trustworthy"
>an unkempt neckbeard shows up
>>
>>3099164
That needs to be on Netflix.
>>
>>3099164
This.

When people discover you are not a girl they will feel cheated and avoid you
>>
>>3099090
She still has some nice hangers
>>
>>3099248
they already hanged low in american beauty. and its been like 15 years from that.
>>
>>3099084
If you have such a bad time with anxiety that you can't use your real name, you're probably going to be shit at interacting with people and selling yourself anyways.

Good luck kek.

Am I a transphotexual? I can't decide whether to use my digital camera or film camera. I really have some problems..

That would make you Photofluid, so you can switch on a dime. It is like the difference between a Mars, or an Almond Joy bar, sometime you feel like a but, smotimes you don't.

like, for example, (((Sarah Goldberg)))?
>>
>>3099103
Don't.
I don't know where you are from, but if I had a dollar for every girl in argentina that use the lastname Lisbon in their artistic names I would have much better gear. It's cringy and overused. Not kidding, I know personally at least 3 artist (2 in different fields) that use the Lisbon gimmick.
>>
I had a nickname in highschool (hextron, dumb but I liked it) so I started using it online for gaming handles and social media user names.
When I started really getting into photography I was using my existing social media since it already had a following and now a whole lot of people in the industry I work in know me as The Hextron or just Hex and I don't know how I feel about it.
>>
>>3099096

>Well how about a spoonerism?

You see this often in the electronic dance scene. One famous producer is known as Mord Fustang.

This gives you a lot of options. It sounds weird and catchy, and may not even be obvious at first. But now it doesn't even need to be someone's name. Just any two word phrase "spoonerized" will give you a cool name.

Henrietta Lack.

Or as she's better known: HeLa.

Why not HELLA? :^)
