Looks nice, but the point of a business card is to 'woo' a person into doing business with you, especially with photography and design work. Try to think of more ways to draw attention to your talent, and incorporate them into the card. Basic does the job, but it won't have anyone going 'WOW let me write down this guy's number, I need to give him my money.'

Are you good with photoshop?

Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark!

I love it. I think the back needs a bit more contrast in the clouds and I'd like to see more saturation in the red to make it pop more.

Don't listen to these guys - less IS more.

I was thinking about the exact same reference. The battle of the business cards from "American Psycho". Mine is sharper than yours. Look at the embossing. Whoooo. That was the 1990's.

nice ninja edit!

for when you said i should show my results. Isn't having a photo on there showing my results and showing you that I am a wedding/portrait photographer?

....?

it's not a watermark, its a logo so when someone grabs my card they will know who's it is regardless of the side they're looking at

i like the general idea. id just play with the logo/font more. its hard to read and black on black. overall very nice

Hi Dustin. I suggest using several visuals. Sure you do weddings, but I am sure you have other specialties in which you excel. Having a variety of visuals will help you having a variety of clients.

On the back, the type is very nice with all lower case.

On the front, I am not sure what the big letter stands for: a "d" or a "p"?

Good job anyway.

that was the first thing that popped into my head
