ruslan Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 How do you find using nicknames by/for popular (mostly wedding) photographers? They make up nicknames (often Spanish) and disguise their real names/surnames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henkelphoto Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 When I worked for the Los Angeles Times, we used to play around with making up nicknames for ourselves in case we got one of those never to be repeated shots that could make a person many thousands of dollars on resales. Two of our favorites were "Al Carbon" and "Al Fresco". Of course, we never followed through on this. Either because we were loyal, or because we never got that shot!

Glenn McCreery Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Usher Fellig, better known as Weegee, is one name that comes to mind for his stark and sensational New York street photography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shadow Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Man Ray was a nickname, or adopted name, for Emmanuel Radnitzky. He wasn't a trendy photographer. He actually set some trends! 1 There’s always something new under the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
