Frequently Asked Questions
What should a photography invoice include?
Include a clear breakdown of session fees, editing time, prints or albums, travel expenses, and usage licensing. Specify the number of edited images included and any additional charges for extra edits or prints.
Should I charge a deposit for photography bookings?
Yes, it is standard practice to charge a 25-50% non-refundable deposit to secure a booking date, with the balance due before or on the day of the shoot. State your deposit terms clearly on the invoice.
Do photographers need to charge VAT in the UK?
Only if your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 per year. If VAT registered, you must charge 20% VAT on your services and include your VAT number on invoices.
How do I handle image licensing on an invoice?
Specify the usage rights included in the price, e.g. personal use only, or commercial licensing. Additional usage rights can be invoiced separately. This protects your intellectual property and sets clear expectations.
