FAQ

What is Photography Insurance?

Keep your photography equipment and your business safe and work stress-free. The Photography Insurance package is designed specifically for photographers and professionals offering photography-related services. This comprehensive package covers work equipment and offers other essential coverage from various risks, including lawsuits, theft, property matters, and other perils.

Whether you run a small or a massive business, work as a freelance photographer or anything in between, our Photography Insurance package has something for everyone. Let us help you build an exclusive policy to meet your unique business needs.

Why do I need Photography Insurance?

Photography insurance protects your business and your personal assets when the need arises, such as if a fire broke out at your studio and you need to replace all your expensive equipment. If your business is paramount to you, you must protect it at all costs. If you insure your car, why not your business? After all, your business is your income source and the product is the fruit of labour and hard work. Without Photography Insurance, you make yourself vulnerable and risk losing the business you worked so hard for all this time.

Moreover, there can be other instances where your involvement as the photographer could result in damages, and you have to suffer the repercussions. How can you pay for damages to expensive furniture or decor that broke if someone tripped over your wiring or lighting stand? What if a family demands you cover the medical bills from an accident that transpired in your place of business? Without Photography Insurance, your out-of-pocket expense can be very costly.

Additionally, venues or organizations such as schools and sports leagues can mandate that you carry professional liability insurance while working there. Having a policy in place gives you opportunities and jobs that could pay well, promote your business, and increase your credibility.

    How can annual policies help my business and insure my camera equipment?

    If your business holds various sessions and bookings throughout the year, having annual insurance with equipment floater coverage will cover the equipment you take out to different events like weddings, adventure shoots with drones, or wherever you are if it is stolen or damaged by some weather events like a rainstorm. It can also be cheaper from a cost and administrative perspective to simply hold an annual policy vs arranging insurance separately each time.
