Sorry dude, but that shape is massively common, I think every designer has sketched it at some point. Maybe steer away from the dp side of things and think more abstractly around photographic elements, equipment, processes etc etc. Good luck though!

Think about concepts first.
Why are you calling your business 'distraction photography'?

The idea that photos are a distraction?

A distraction from what?
- kalkal0
From your current environment, they take you to the past.
My god, this sounds pretentious.

I'd go with my name but I'd probably end up unknowingly ripping off Marks and Spencer in that case.

Not feeling the name at all, go with your name - it's yours.

It's a bad shape.

i think the name itself is more interesting than the icon you have developed. As shown it's a pretty ubiquitous and played-out form. My suggestion would be to refine the wordmark further and ditch the shape. If you're insistent on developing an icon try to find some associations to your related profession, the word distraction or some other line of thought completely unexpected.

I'm surprised no one has said this yet, but hire a designer?
Anyway, now that that is out of the way :)
It's easy to see that the shape you have chosen is pleasing and easy to like. Look at how it's used everywhere. That said, I like what you've done, colors, shape and all but since it's like a lot of other logos in those respects, you could push it a bit further.That shape reminded me of my old camera with the manual countdown self-timer switch thing next to or on the lens. Maybe you could work in that direction and find a play with time since you mentioned the distraction of taking you away to another time.
