Right guys...i have a myspace / facebook page and site under construction.
Thing that im thinking about the most, is what type of photographer to call myself. My interests lies within

Extreme sport - snowboarding, mountain biking etc etc
People - Fashion, Glamour, Portrait
Landscapes - Travel, Location etc

Amongst other subjects. So i wouldnt label myself as a sport photographer, fashion photographer or a landscape one. So what do i label myself as.

Im thinking maybe 'commercial' Chase Jarvis is very wide spread with what he shoots. And he labels him self as a commercial photographer?

I guess what im saying, is i dont want to be labeled as a photographer for a certain subject.

Any ideas.
 
My photography is basically people and places. I call my self a photographer.

Isn't it obvious? Expelatog!

Just call yourself a photographer. You could be all means add the commercial part. Why not?
 
I agree with Simmotino. Whats the matter with just your name and saying that you are a photographer?
You don't know how your photographic interests will evolve in the future so why label yourself at all.
 
werecow...that makes very good sense. i dont know if i want to be a fashion . sport . landscape tog etc.

yeah

photographer it is! haha

They call me 'Paul'
They call me 'Stacey'
They call me 'her'
They call me 'Jane'
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name

First thing that popped into my head! I'd go with the ever-popular I'm a Photographer". Don't label yourself if you don't want to:)

I don't really think anybody bothers what you call yourself, they are more interested in how competent a photographer you are, and now title or website will improve your output.

They used to call me SOCO!!
 
Give us a link to your myspace, not seen that many extreme sports photographers, only know a few.
 
Digital imaging guru?
 
Surely you don't want to limit yourself incase other chances some up, so like others have siad, call yourself a photographer. That way you have "access all areas"!
 
ide just use your name and list what you shoot

of course its what they call you is most important :)
