Actually, on reflection, I think I (reluctantly) agree with all of NT's last comment here(even about mine): "photographer" would allow any form of engaging image to be used in the card, whereas "portrait" would perhaps have to be cleverly suggestive(an eye with hair, for example) so as to avoid it looking like you're advertising a certain person!
I must add though, that I deliberately don't hand a card out that is in "credit card size": for me, it suggests it'd not get looked at. My design is on 5x3.5 inch photo paper, costing typically £5 GBP for 50 from a bog-standard developer like Photobox. People I've given them to are pleased that it's not just another business card, and appreciate the specialness of a glossy photo instead. (And in my defence, helps my card look less busy...ish)
