Add esigning Product Photography Contract

hey guys julian lalo here melbourne based fashion and food photographer and in today's video i'm going to take you through contracts for the freelance photographer [Music] now the contract example i'll be taking you guys through today is my personal contract it's not something that i've had drawn up legally by a lawyer it's a pdf document that i have created myself over the years of experiences as a freelance photographer every time i get in a little situation with a client and an important point is raised that i feel is important for future clients to know prior to a shoot i amend this document now as you guys probably know most people do not read t's and c's and fine print so i like to keep this document to one page if possible i have subheadings and then dot points under each keeping it really nice and simple in the hope that people actually take the time to read over it because there's some really important stuff in there now as i mentioned it's not a legally binding document and the reason i say this and the reason i haven't gone to the experience of getting a lawyer to draft it and look over it is because most of the issues that arise or that have arisen over my career as a photographer between myself and a client haven't been issues that are big enough to warrant the time or expense of pursuing it legally and taking it to court so it's really just something if a situation or disagreement does arise from a photo shoot i can professionally go back and show the client this document and have a nice calm discussion where hopefully we can come to a middle ground so with that being said i'm going to take you through the subheadings of this document and some of the dot points i have under it so the first of these subheadings is image usage i'm sure anyone who's already had some experience as a freelance photographer has been in that awkward situation where a client has requested all the raw files or doesn't understand why they don't receive them as they have paid for a photo shoot so it's always great to specify under this subheading that raw files unless of course you wish to give them to the client or you have made a prior agreement raw files are not included with the edited images i also include in there where the photos are allowed to be used so for example all my photo shoots automatically are allowed for digital usage so that be social media website edms i stay in there about print usage print usage requires an additional license again these are all things that are in my contract if you price accordingly and allow your clients to use images for digital print give them the raws that's completely fine as i said these are just the things to be mindful...
