In the case you have a separate photography business - do you use its name in your stock profile or do you use your name?

I am wondering what is best...

Personally, I use my business name, even here. I'm a graphic designer too, so I use the same name for everything.

Agree with Blufish.  If you want people to find you ... be YOU.   

But if you DON'T want people to find you - use a separate identity.  It would be nice to speak your mind without wondering if the agency is reading.  And yes, they do read... and yes, they do ban people from speaking their mind.

I am professional artist, sculptor, I use a separate identity.

I use "Norebbo" everywhere. It's my identity as a designer, and I'm trying to smear it everywhere I can. 

I use my name rather than a business name as micro isn't my main business and would like it to be separate from that.
