Tips for Photographers
- Separate your shoot fee from post-production and licensing fees on quotes — it helps clients understand the value.
- Include image usage rights and licence terms in your service agreement summary to avoid disputes later.
- Send a proforma invoice for the deposit before the shoot, then a final tax invoice upon delivery of edited images.
- Offer a payment plan for wedding packages — a three-instalment split is common in the industry.
Compliance Notes
- ABN is required on all tax invoices.
- GST registration is mandatory at $75,000 turnover.
- Copyright in photographs belongs to the photographer by default under the Copyright Act 1968.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should a photographer handle deposits?
Issue a proforma invoice for the deposit (typically 30–50% of the total). Once the deposit is paid, issue a tax invoice or receipt. The final balance is invoiced after delivery of edited images.
Are photography services subject to GST?
Yes, photography is a taxable supply. If you are GST-registered, charge 10% GST on all domestic services. Exports (e.g., shooting for an overseas client) may be GST-free if the work is used outside Australia.
What should a photographer include in a service agreement?
Cover the shoot date, location, number of edited images, delivery timeline, usage rights, cancellation policy, and any travel costs. A clear agreement prevents misunderstandings and protects both parties.
