Thoughts on this logo I designed for a personal photographer

If you have no experience in lettering, don't pick a font and modify things because it'll end up looking like someone who doesn't know what they're doing, worse you're doing it for a business that may end up using it for a long time till they realise you made an error that needs to be fixed and that's going to cost them again. Weight on the V is wrong, it should be on the left, the swirl has a kink too. Also the huge whitespace you got going is going to be problematic in the long run because your design relies on a fixed dimension, what if they had to use this on social media where there's multiple sizes for headers , icons etc? or this may not even happen but what if it had to go on signage thats 1:10 sort of like your fb header ? If you're lucky it may fit as is or you may have to move stuff around to make it fit. Yours relies on a rectangular frame, icons in general are squares or even circles, in order to fit the logo into one of those you'd have to scale the logo down considerably. This is not only a waste of white space, but you're also forced to scale the logo down to fit into these squares and circles, if anything you always want to keep the logo at it's optimal size, meaning the larger it is the better. I've done a logo that's got a fixed dimension but I also informed the client that would be a hassle but they insisted in keeping it that way so the solution was to recreate and redraw alternative versions that worked based on different sizes but maintained consistency throughout the brand. It's a hassle to redesign it for different sizes but if you want it to be consistent and work on all sizes, this is the only way to go.
