The last set with a few tweeks would work ok.

Change the color your company name to white. Also, changing the red text because it's usually too hard to read and looks.

Too much going on.
If you want to show your photos, make a flyer of some sort...not a business card.

Keep it simple. If you want to "do more" have a pro do it.

Way too hard to read the card and it just doesn't say "quality" like I'm sure your work does......and that's the thing.

Your business card is kind of like a website....it's your "store front" at the time of handing it to your potential client.....you want it to say "I'm not a hack, low end dirt bag"

Remember to spend money on the card stock as well....nothing like handing a limp dick card to someone....it's worse than getting a dead fish handshake.

Maaaaaybe one photo on the card. But that should be of you NOT your work or equipment.
They want to know "who" not "what".

KISS
Keep It Simple STeamer. :mrgreen:

Just once? Do you really want to be THAT wrong all the time?

Yeah the cards are not something i would hand out. Colors do have physcological effect on people, this is why you should use soft colors. Read up on it.

I agree. For your biz card just keep it clean and simple. A business card should be memorable but mainly used to have your contact info for a client to refer back to. Like Brian said:
