Here in the country I live, my name (Madison) is very uncommon, and even more uncommon for a guy (it's usually girls).
My last name is a nightmare (Gerritsen) (wow that is not very good sounding).
I came up with the idea: madebymadison. as a brand name. it works, I get loads of good reactions.
What if you decide to do something similar? I personally don't think your name has a bad flow. It sounds unique, dependable, and has a nice ring to it. How about Osterman Productions. Shot by Osterman. Osterman Studios. Osterman the posterman (just kidding). Osterman visual. It's not your name I have a problem with but finding something that adds a communications layer that sets you apart and pushes you in the field of image production and photography. Osterman: I shoot everything. Funny, but I would definitely remember it.
When I finish I am going to set up a studio and just name it after myself. Hopefully people wont think I am a girl.
