Advice On Choosing A Business Font ?

Hi all ! I wonder if i can pick some brains ?

I'm a photogapher and i'm trying to design a new business card and look to my brand.

At the moment I'm using Adobe Arno Pro font for my main logo which i quite like. It has a traditional almost classical look but with a contemporary twist - see attached pic.

However, I'm not sure i like the look of Arno Pro for the main font text on the reverse of my business card  - see pic attached.

I've also kept all text lower case on rear of card ... is this cool or not ?!

If i keep Arno Pro caption for my main logo font, what other fonts would anyone suggest for the reverse / main type ?

I photograph people, places, architecture, fashion, 360 panoramas and video so i'd kinda like the font to reflect this.

Any advice or opinions would be much appreciated !

Many thanks

Actually, this is a really nice, clean design! Easy to read and very distinctive.

The only downside of this design is that by putting contact information on the reverse side, you defeat the ability of scanning and storing business card information which many professionals do. You also might consider an actual snail mail address such that someone can mail something to you if necessary.

Thanks Don ! I like to keep my address private

So you like the font lower case on the reverse too ? Not too 'Times New Roman' y as that's such a common font ?!

Doesn't look anything like Times New Roman! The font has an “edgy” yet classic look.

I personally see nothing wrong with lower-case only on the reverse? Unconventional, yes! But also very clear and distinctive!
