Скачать или смотреть Hiring a Photographer/Creative? Here’s Why We Ask for a Deposit

If you’ve ever hired a photographer—or plan to—this is something you need to hear.

From the outside, asking for a deposit might seem rigid or even “difficult.” But from a photographer’s perspective, it’s simply about professionalism. Before we ever pick up a camera, we’re investing time, money, and resources—booking crew, travel, hotels, gear, and saying no to other work.

A deposit isn’t just about protecting ourselves—it's about confirming mutual commitment.

🎯 If a creative asks for a deposit, it usually means they value their time—and yours.
🤝 It sets clear expectations and shows respect on both sides.

Something to keep in mind for your next shoot.
