I am trying to pick a name to copyright my photographs under. Is there a website were people are registered so I dont' use the same name?

Or how does that work?

Thanks
April

    Use your own birth name. If you ever need to sue someone for copyright infringement, it will be easier for you. You're you and the photographs are yours, what else is there?

    If you're talking about choosing a business name, you will need to file a DBA (Doing Business As) form with the city, then you'll be able to open a bank account under that name, get a business license, pay taxes, etc.
