If my information is correct, *why don’t you register your photo copyright claims?*
*Photographers’ most valuable business assets are their registered copyrights (aka “photo insurance” to help protect them against infringers)* and not their photo gear, computer/software, or studio.* Registered trademarks are also important to protect a photo business’ branding of products & services.
