Free Fashion Photographer
Service Agreement
One 'oops' from a clumsy model sends your five-figure lighting rig to the scrap heap, and without a contract, you're the one footing the bill. If the agency ghosts your invoice after the shoot, you aren't just out of luck—you're out of business.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a clear 'Kill Fee' clause to ensure you get paid for your time and prep even if the client pulls the plug five minutes before the first flash.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Fashion Photographer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
The client keeps asking for 'bonus shots' that weren't in the brief. How do I stop the bleeding?
A contract defines the 'Shot List' as the final scope; anything else is a Change Order that requires more cash up front before you even touch the shutter.
They’re taking forever to pay me. Do I just wait by the mailbox?
No, you set clear 'Late Fee' penalties in your terms; when it starts costing them extra to be slow, they suddenly find the checkbook real fast.
If I don't give them every single RAW file, they get mad. Do I fold?
Hold the line; your contract should state you only deliver finished work, preventing them from dragging your reputation through the dirt with unedited junk.
