We look at photographers and videographer insurance through your lens
Depending on your business, there are different photography insurance covers to consider if you work as a photographer or videographer.
Camera insurance—covers your valuable equipment for repair and replacement, avoiding business downtime and expense.
Contents insurance—protects equipment if you're based in a studio. Suppose you have high-end computers for editing and specialist printing equipment. In that case, you may also want to cover them and consider buildings insurance for your studio and office as well.
Financial protection—for your takings and money stored on the premises or being taken to a bank.
Commercial vehicle insurance and goods in transit—protects your vehicle if you use it solely for your photography or videography business to transport equipment, stock or deliveries.
Employers liability insurance—is a legal obligation if you employ staff.
Public liability insurance—will give you peace of mind and reassure clients if you attend events to take photographs or film. This insurance will cover you if an individual is injured or their personal property is damaged due to your negligence.
Professional indemnity—protects you if you accidently erase images from your memory card or cut a family member out of the frame during a wedding photoshoot.
Should someone make a claim against you, or your equipment is lost, stolen or damaged , without the right protection you could have to pay out of your own pocket. What's more, if you're a professional photographer and want to access the benefits of a professional body, some require you to have relevant photography insurance as a prerequisite.
