Contract tips for Henderson photographers
- If the client's venue requires additional insured wording, write who is responsible for providing it and by when.
- For commercial clients, spell out usage rights: where images may appear, for how long, and whether the license is exclusive.
- Address cancellations, rescheduling, and weather in the contract, with retainer terms that both sides understand.
- Include a limitation of liability tied to the fees paid, so a lost card or equipment failure does not become a claim for the whole cost of the event.
A clear contract will not replace insurance, but it narrows disputes, and narrower disputes are cheaper to resolve. Professional liability insurers often ask whether you use written contracts.
