When it comes to photography, there are many different types of contracts that can be drawn up between the photographer and the client. The most common type of contract is a service contract, which outlines what services will be provided by the photographer and what the expected turnaround time is. This type of contract is usually used for portrait photography or other types of photography that require a specific set of services.

Other common contracts include copyright assignment contracts and model releases. A copyright assignment contract transfers copyright ownership from the photographer to the client, while a model release gives permission to use a person’s likeness in advertising or other promotional materials.

Many photographers also choose to use a written agreement when working with clients. This document spells out the terms and conditions of the project, including things like payment terms, delivery expectations, and usage rights.
