Photography Contracts – Everything You Need To Know
Photography contract talk at the studio today – we were joined by Jason Hynes from Bereskin & Parr LLP. This is really amazing content. We’re so happy Jason was willing to come in, and also that he allowed us to post this.
The actual contract I use as well as a video about it, is over at Patreon…

I really appreciate this. I did my first paid wedding recently I did not have a formal contract in place whilst I smoothed it over and I won't do any again without one.
This is so helpful. On the ring bearer comment. My son was ring bearer at my brother's wedding. It was pre agreed my son's face could not go onto any platform for display due to safeguarding due to him being adopted.
I refuse to shoot weddings for all of these noteworthy mentions. I do love to shoot photos of BTS, (behind the scenes) of parties, movie or music video sets etc, and low-stake jobs where I am not bothered while working.
I place the liability on the client. Up front, I ask them if someone on site does not want their image taken do I respect their wishes, ignore them, or page you?
I ask the client how I am to respond to that.
Ultimately it is up to them to inform their guests about being photographed and make them aware in advance and post notices or whatever. I am just hired talent to do a job.
After releasing the photos to the client, it is in their hands and they are responsible for where the photos end up, privately or publicly.
why is finding a photography contrACT so f-ing hard to do? Not like the rest of the job isn't hard enough and then 9 million sites online telling you 43 billion different things….ugh,
I’ve seen many articles and video lately that said the opposite that retainer sounded more professional than deposit as retainer retains your date and deposits are things many people do get calc such as security deposits in rentals. I will say with my recent client the term I used was non-refundable retainer so surely that makes the intention clear but now this video has me second guessing what I’ve learned 🤯 but I really appreciate this video !

How do you deal with a client downgrading their package ? 😅 has anyone had this issue or how do u state it on a contract
"Wear a mask at your next wedding"
Well that aged poorly…

Am I required to register as a business?

Thanks in avance
Within last 2-3 years I changed my contract at least2 times, basically after each “complicated/unhappy” client I add something to a contract. I had client who never paid before, I had a client that tried to sue me over me having an assistant.
Also, a lot of client get confused between “print release and copy right release.”
This was extremely helpful! thanks for making this available and thanks to the presenter for being so clear and willing to let you share it!
Thanks for sharing this Taylor and Jason 🙂
