My new business cards

Business cards are important for a photographer. I use them a lot, and I changed a lot all over the years. The new ones are inspired by a great photographer.

When I have seen what Jacob Blickenstaff shared on his instagram I had a revelation. See how effective they are: straight to the point. Again the statement less is more is correct. I haven't thought about it much. Although I still have a lot of older ones, I wanted these:

In my work I find myself having to give many times my business card. In my experience I have seen how your own photos don’t work in a business card. If they want to see my work you need to visit my website. With me in any case I have always a book containing my portfolio.

With the issues experienced with my website at the start of this year I should switch to the squarespace platform and I lost my email address. I realized that it can’t work to include the email address for this event. And sincerely I prefer avoid to include phone number and home address. I work often in rough places, in popular neighborhoods and is much better to put only the personal website. If in particular cases I have to give my phone number I can always write back and this is the reason why I chose white and only one side.

The business card is an important link to my work. It consists of something that is real, that I use in the real world, when I work on the street.
