Photography Proposal Tips

  1. 1

    State the deliverable count, not just 'edited photos.' '80-100 final edited images' is a contract. 'High-quality photos from your event' is not.

  2. 2

    Specify the licensing terms. Commercial use, web use only, or print with resolution limit — the usage rights matter and clients often don't know to ask. Put it on every proposal.

  3. 3

    Include a second photographer clause. For 6-hour events, a second shooter is standard. If one is included, say so. If not, explain why.

  4. 4

    Show the online gallery turnaround separately from print products. Gallery in 3 weeks; albums in 8-10 weeks. Clients who expect everything in 3 weeks need this managed upfront.

  5. 5

    Include a travel fee policy. Anything over 30 miles should be disclosed as a potential charge. Destination sessions need a written travel agreement.
