I'm a current photography student that would like to one day - own my own business. I need some help getting the creative juices flowing -- any suggestions for a unique business name?

The naming of your business could be one of the most important decisions you will make. A name's originality and legal availability will create a real asset value of its own, as it becomes marketed and gains market acceptance.
The name you choose will become the focal point of all the benefits and features that relate to your business. Customers will be able to find and refer others to it in the future.
Since any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route...
I suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research.
I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there.
Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first.
Comprehensive research consists of looking at marks that are similar in Sound, Appearance or Meaning in the pending & registered Federal AND State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files.
There are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

what ever you choose remember that the name must explain what the business does to an extent. Eg: shutterpoint.com and http://www.focusonphotography.co.za both give the impression of a photography website (both taken by the way).
Good luck.

Snaps! But it depends on what type of photos you will be taking. Portraits, weddings, real life in the moment type stuff, journalism ect.
You could go with Snaps! or Focus on you, or just, Focus.
Good luck! I love to see someone reaching for their dreams!!
You go girl!!
