Whether you have your own photography business or enjoy snapping photos as a hobby, the internet is one of the best ways to share your work with the world. Show off all your best shots with one of these domain extensions that are geared towards photographers.

.PHOTOGRAPHY

This domain is great for individuals or agencies who have photography businesses that they want to advertise online. As a key-term for photographers, putting “photography” to the right of the dot removes the need for a legacy extension or a hyphenated brand name. With meaningful words on both sides of the dot, you’ll be able to secure a shorter, more memorable domain. The .PHOTOGRAPHY domain looks professional and immediately tells your visitors the type of service you offer.

.GALLERY

Photographers can now register unique domain endings, like kristenpierson.photography.

Galleries are great platforms for sharing your best photographs with family, friends, or potential clients. Photographers can use a .GALLERY domain to share links to their portfolios or allow clients to view their shots. Set up a 301 redirect to turn long links from popular photo sharing services like SmugMug or ShootProof to clientname.yourbrand.gallery as a way of maintaining your brand. You can also redirect social media links to the site where you host your shots rather than using a long, unbranded link. The .GALLERY domain is the perfect home for sharing memories to last a lifetime.

.PHOTOS

Want a prime keyword right in your URL? The .PHOTOS domain lets you inform your audience of your specialty while still allowing you to personalize it with your brand. Use the .PHOTOS ending in URLs that make the most sense grammatically, like janes.photos or smithfamily.photos.

.PHOTO

If you prefer the singular version (or have a situation where it makes more sense grammatically), you’re in luck! The .PHOTO domain is also available for you to register. Use it to showcase an award-winning photograph or take advantage with a key search phrase, like senior.photo.

.CAMERA

If you sell cameras, or like to give advice on the type of equipment aspiring photographers should use, the .CAMERA domain offers a succinct way to work it into your URL. Rather than using a long domain like ratemycamera.com, take advantage of the shorter URL such as ratemy.camera.

.STUDIO

Studio services are key for photographers who need dedicated space for their work. Studio owners who rent out their space to photographers and other artists can use the .STUDIO domain to attract fellow creatives. Represent your brand with a domain that establishes you as an anti-status-quo creative professional.

.PRODUCTIONS

Successful photographers might expand their services to include videography, a creative space, event coordination, and more. Represent your full-service creative studio with the .PRODUCTIONS domain, which gives you the freedom and flexibility to continually add new services to your business. Set yourself up to scale over time without needing to pigeonhole yourself into a single medium or area of expertise.
