Free Commercial Photographer Service Agreement

Stop letting clients treat your $50,000 gear kit like rental equipment; if they damage it on set, you eat the repair and insurance deductibles while they walk away with the images.

Pro Contractor Tip

Lock down a detailed Licensing and Usage Rights clause so they have to pay you again every time they try to run your images outside of the agreed-upon marketing campaign.

Why use a written agreement?

Handshake deals are risky. As a Commercial Photographer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.
