Honestly, I think the image you posted needs to be bigger to be able to comment on it.

Take my input how ever. I like the clean crispness of it the only thing I don't like is the fact that you are cut off at the waist. And the way your shirt rolls it looks like you actually have a belly roll. Hope that isn't mean but that really bothers me.

I'd clean up some of the text for sure. Centering confuses me on the "and portraits" line (seems to be centered with the lower copy, but not the above). Maybe center the "Specializing" sentence vertically and make it bold and/or slightly larger too.

Logo is too close to the photo, I'd center it between the photo and the right edge so the space on either side is equal or at least closer.

I'd prefer to see photos you take vs. a photo of you (kind of looks like you're a PI or something).

I like the clean crispness of the card, but I also, think the logo is to close to the photo and I would rather the picture be of your work. The capturing.... is not spaced enough from the logo, and the space between the specializing... and the web site address is too wide. I think the font size is to small overall.

If you must use a photo, then at least remove the camera. I just played around for a few minutes...

EDIT: Changed the spelling.

I think you nailed it once again, Mike.

(Need to correct the spelling for McIntosh though :-)

I've never seen a photographer's biz card with a photo of the photographer. I concur with Ben that I'd rather see an image you took.

The text format looks good on Mike's quick edit.
