Nuno Melo - Logo Concepts

Nuno is a very talented photographer i had the pleasure to meet a couple of months ago. When he asked me to create his logo, he mentioned how he wanted the brand to feel personal, genuine and non-corporate. He also wanted his logo to convey photography on a subtle way 📷

With the start of the new year, i wanted to try new challenges so i explored not only marks but also a couple of typographic options, here's their meaning:

1. N + Camera Focus

2. Nuno Melo + Camera

3. N + M + Film

4. N + Camera Focus

5. Nuno + Camera

6. Nuno

The client preferred 1 and 6, i am leaning towards 5... Can you help us decide which one is the better? 🤔
