Photographer needs you help to launch his new career!

Gerard O'Mahony Photography

No

I am a keen amateur photographer looking to venture into the professional arena. I believe in the saying: Dress for the job you want not the job you do.
So I want to create new brand identity for this venture and new me.
I am a photographer that specialises in Landscapes and People (Portraits). These are my two passion areas. I appreciate they are different and there in lies the challenge!
The logo will be used to build a website and for my business card but most importantly as a signature on the back and bottom of photographic prints.
I want the impression to be that of a modern professional photographer with passion for landscapes and people, it shouldn't be to complicated or fussy that it takes from the picture!

I'm very happy to answer any questions. I've added some examples of my work!
I am happy for the logo to focus on my name with minor elements around it.
Needs to work well in monotone as this will be the use on a lot of images. I basically plan to try to sell some of my images online or through local markets if I can.
Addition to the brief: Lot's of camera devices being used which I like. It strikes me that the tripod is also the common tool I use for both genres of photography. Could a tripod be considered as the device? M made from the three legs of a tripod?
