Paperwork that protects a Kuna shoot
- Include a limitation of liability tied to the fees paid, so a lost card or equipment failure does not become a claim for the whole cost of the event.
- Name a second shooter or assistant in the contract if one will attend, and confirm whether they are your employee or a contractor.
- If the client's venue requires additional insured wording, write who is responsible for providing it and by when.
- Explain your backup practice (dual card slots, same-day copies) in the contract, and describe what you will do if files are lost anyway.
Insurers reviewing an application often ask whether you use written agreements. Having one in place can make a difference in how a dispute is handled.
