Free Freelance Photographer
Service Agreement
Stop handing over your high-resolution gallery and crossing your fingers that the client doesn't disappear before the invoice is settled.
Pro Contractor Tip
Explicitly state in your contract that the license to use or display the images is only granted upon receipt of payment in full, making any pre-payment usage a clear copyright violation.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Freelance Photographer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I prevent clients from screenshotting my proofing gallery and using the images without paying?
Our automated digital escrow system applies dynamic watermarking to all preview files, which are only replaced by the high-resolution originals once the client's payment is secured and verified.
What is the safest way to deliver final high-res files without getting ghosted on the final invoice?
By using a digital escrow workflow, you upload your final work to a secure vault; the system only releases the download link to the client after they have completed the final payment transaction.
Can I automate the process of sending the copyright release only after the check clears?
Yes, our system allows you to bundle your digital assets and licensing documents into a single package that is locked behind a paywall, ensuring that access is granted only when the funds are fully processed.
