You cannot copyright a business name, but you can register it as a trademark.
The professional name for an aerial photography is aerial photographer. Either (your name) Aerial Photography Service or (your town) Aerial Photography Service. The business people and government agencies who hire aerial photographers want to see that kind of name for two reasons. It gives off an aura of sober professionalism. And when your company's name shows up on the list of payables for the period, no questions like "what did we buy from these guys?" I'll give an example. Next spring I will buy a drum scanner and a rotary film processor and start a business preparing huge images for things like billboards and bus wraps. I could name the company something like "Bas Relief" (BAS would mean big-a scans) or Whirling Art (because the drum spins in the scanner) but no, it I'll be Pacific Northwest Drum Scanner Service. I am working at Singaporeaerialphotography.com as an aerial photographer.
It is Photography. Photography comes from 2 greek words Photo is the stem that means "light" and graphein is the verb that means "to write" so literally, photography means writing with light
Environmental portraiture is my favorite genre of photography. I enjoy photographing people in their homes, places of employment, and outdoor environments because context enhances personality. These pictures use composition, lighting, and subtle facial expressions to tell stories. Each portrait is made vivid, relatable, and emotionally complex by revealing authenticity and the relationship between the subject and the surroundings.

The documentary-style field of social photography documents social issues, daily life, and interpersonal relationships. It has its roots in early photojournalism and uses real-life stories with candid and contextual photography to document underrepresented communities, increase awareness, and inspire introspection or change.

Copyright. (Name of the business)
No. A name is a trademark as in a business . Copyright is a protection of written material. Your name is not written material.
Your business name is the first thing any potential customer will see. Your photography business name should clearly show what your business is about and should attract the sort of people you are targeting as your potential clients.Using your own name has advantages and disadvantages. The plus is that as you develop a good reputation this adds value to your business name. The disadvantage is that it does not set you apart from other photography businesses. Your business name should act as a marketing tool. Your name, intially, will not fulfil this function. Including aspects such as your niche, your location and your skills in your photography business name will appeal to your potential market. For example Cedar View Images will immediately inform potential customers in Cedar View that this is your area, Perfect Portraits informs people that your speciality is portrait photography. Brainstorm relevant words associated with photography and choose a combination that works for you.
Names are not eligible for copyright protection. However, if you intend to use the name as a mark in trade, such as a business name, you may wish to register it as a trademark.
Unfortunately, this may not be possible as internationally we all have another person with the same name. For use in a business it would have to associate with a service or product and then may only apply in you own state.
Short phrases such as business names are not copyrightable. If you wish to trademark the name, fees vary significantly.
Most photographers opening their private business use their names, like Elizabeth duncan Photography. You want people to remember your work but also your name! but if you want to go with a catchy name, maybe something like FORGET-ME-NOT PHOTOGRAPHY, or FROZEN IN TIME PHOTOGRAPHY....just some random thoughts here, good luck!
