Dirt_DiverComment by Tez: Your forum post asked 'do you like it?'
In a word: no. It looks cheap and badly organized. You have stuff going on all over the place and a lot of it seems like an afterthought like you needed to put it somewhere, so why not (t)here?
Like the email address is way out there, the phone number is under the name with your web address and your 'genre' section is over there. It just doesn't connect.
The picture is OK but i can't decide if the bag is coming to him, or he threw it away, but I suppose it's immaterial either way. I really hope you lose the glow around the letters, that looks very bad and again, looks cheap. Yes it was cool in the 90s, but it isn't now.
On a business card you should put relevent info together: in this case, your web address, phone number and email should be close together. I would revert to putting photographer under your name, or putting photography after your name so people know what the hell they're looking at/looking for in their wallet.
It kinda feels like the top is immensely cluttered and the bottom quarter is empty. Use the bottom bit- the leaves at the bottom aren't as interesting as you'd think and I would move the seniors, weddings bit to a single line along the bottom, or put your contact info in a single line at the bottom.
You've used a big horizontal space by putting your name really big- echo that design choice by using horizontal lines throughout the rest of the card. You have a bunch of verticals, horizontals, diagonals and different fonts all over the place and it just does not work. You have a design choice you can use for the rest of the card to give it structure and balance, and at the moment this has none.
