How does insurance for photographers work?
Capture every crucial moment with cover you can rely on
As a professional photographer, taking the right picture is an art and provides special memories for your clients that are irreplaceable. More often than not, clients will be delighted with your work – but what if something does not go as planned?
At The Insurance Octopus, we source business insurance policies that are designed to be flexible, allowing you to put together a bespoke Photographers Insurance policy exactly how you need it and ensuring you have all of the essential cover you need in one business insurance policy.
Photographers Insurance covers your work and can be personalised to the type of photographer you are based on your business activity, levels of cover required and the business equipment you may need protected.
What your Photographers Insurance policy includes
Professional Indemnity Cover
Professional Indemnity insurance, or PI insurance, will protect you and/or your business against any financial or trading loss that may be caused as a result of bad advice or a mistake made in work. Typically these claims can be a result of Negligence, Dishonesty, Defamation, infringement of Intellectual Property Rights and Loss of Data. Professional Indemnity cover limits from £50,000 to £10m.
Employers Liability
Employers Liability insurance cover is for you if you have one or more employees and then, by law, you are required to have employer’s liability insurance. Employers Liability cover is a standard £10m and will protect you as the employer against claims from your staff should they be hurt when working for you.
Public Liability Cover for Photographers
Public Liability cover protects you if one of your customers or member of the public is injured or their property is damaged. Public liability insurance protects you against the cost of repairs or any legal proceedings that may be filed against you. Standard levels of cover are available from £1m to £5m, with additional levels of cover available upon request subject to insurers terms and conditions.
Legal Expenses
With Legal Expenses cover you can protect your business against the costs associated with legal representation, including legal defends costs and other associated costs. Defending claims can be expensive, so this cover should not be overlooked.
Photographers Contents and Equipment Cover
Content and equipment cover for photographers provides protection for all your portable equipment when working away from your own premises or at a client’s site – including cover against damage, loss and theft.
Breach of Copyright and other types of additional cover
Breach of Copyright or confidentiality, protection against Loss of Contents, Negligent Advice, Business Interruption, Personal Accident and more are all additional cover add-ons that can be increased or decreased as required.

How it works
Examples of Photographers insurance in action
An unfortunate snap
A photographer found herself facing a nightmare situation on the way back from a successful photo shoot. The memory stick on which she had stored all of the shots that the client was very happy with became corrupted and she didn’t have a backup. This meant that the entire shoot had to be rearranged and the project it related to was pushed back by several weeks. The photographer found herself able to call on her Professional Indemnity insurance to cover the costs that arose from this and keep her very important client happy.
