Contracts for Architecture Photography – Contract Template and Video Bundle
$179.99
There are very few guarantees in life – death, taxes, and the assurance that something will go wrong in your career as an architectural photographer. It’s not a matter of if but when. That is why photographers must protect themselves (and their clients) with a strong contract. The Contracts for Architecture Photography video is part of “The Business of Architecture Photography” series featuring Mike Kelley and Matthew Anderson. This bundle includes the APA Contract Template PDF that is discussed in the video.
In this video, Mike and Matthew dissect Mike’s architectural photography contract line by line. Hear lessons from Matthew Anderson’s career working in a small market (Kansas City) and how his contract compares and contrasts with Mike Kelley’s contract and business practices working in a large market (Los Angeles).
You can expect to learn about the nuances of making a contract geared towards photographing the built environment. Matthew and Mike translate the legalese and help you understand the terms in a powerful contract. This helps you better understand the why behind each line item, and protects both you and your client.
Have you ever wished you could take a look at the contract your fellow architecture photographers are using? In this video, you can! This bundle includes both our acclaimed APA Contract Template PDF, which shows you the exact contract that countless professional architectural photographers around the world use, and also the “Contracts for Architecture Photography” video produced here by Architectural Photography Almanac.
In the Contracts for Architecture Photography video, Kansas City-based architectural photographer Matthew Anderson and Los Angeles-based architectural photographer Mike Kelley discuss why it is important to use a contract, as well as the elements of a good contract.
