2 looks "inflamatory" with the fire and 3 looks like it is for college photography.

I like #1 the best, but I'd suggest maybe going with a font that would be a bit easier to read if it's smaller. It looks OK at the size you have posted, but it might get hard to read if you have to shrink it down to fit on a business card or something.

I also voted for #1. To me,the eye states that you have an "eye" for photography.

Initially my choices were as follows: #2, #3 and #1

Then I looked at them again and while I like the maple leaf, it could be construed as being political, and suddenly #1 caught my eye. It's more artistic than the other 2, and photography is an art and I think it captures it perfectly.

I would suggest perhaps incorporating a camera in the logo, or even part of a camera like the lens, even if it's faded into the background.

I would also crop out some of the background.

You may want to play around with the font more. Find a font that really relates visually to your work, not just a font that you like. My favorite "creative industry" business cards are the ones that have an image of the person's work on it. It is a reminder to me of what it is they do because I often remember the work first, whereas I may forget the name and then not know who it is. Some people do a full card image on one side, with information on the other. Others do a single sided business card with a thumbnail image beside the information. Also, using a logo like that as a photographer, you may get confused for being a graphic designer.

I also like the eye on option #1, but the font is simply not legible.

I also wanted to add that moo.com is a excellent source for having professional quality business cards made, and their prices are great too.

I agree. I love the way #1 looks but the font looks like it could be difficult to read for some. You want a font that is clear and that can be read easily. Otherwise, it looks good
