E-signatures built for photographers and videographers.
Shoot agreements, payment terms, and liability waivers — signed before the shoot, free for you and your client.
Who this is for
- A client books a shoot and needs to sign off on deliverables, usage terms, and payment before you show up with a camera.
- A deposit or milestone payment needs a real signature, not just a paid invoice with no terms attached.
- A shoot at a venue or with props or equipment often needs a signed liability waiver on file, just in case.
- Most e-sign tools are priced for teams — overkill for one photographer booking a few clients a month.
Why Docracy
Docracy is free for two-party signing — you and your client — with no account required for them to sign. Start from a service agreement, client contract, payment-terms template, or liability waiver, fill in the shoot details, and send.
What this is not: Docracy doesn't have a dedicated model-release template yet — the service and client-contract templates below cover the booking and payment side, not image-usage/model-release language. Add that separately if your shoot needs it.
Templates for this
Service Agreement
Covers services provided, schedule, fees, and term for an ongoing service relationship.
Client Contract
Covers scope, timeline, payment terms, and confidentiality for a client engagement.
Payment Terms Agreement
A signed record of an amount owed, due date, and payment method between two parties.
Liability Waiver
A participant's signed release of claims against an organization for risks in an activity or event.
Frequently asked questions
Does the client contract cover model releases or image usage rights?
Not directly — see the honest limit above. These templates cover booking and payment; add model-release/usage language separately if the shoot needs it.
Does a client need an account to sign before the shoot?
No — send the link, they sign on their phone, no account or app needed.
Can I require a signed deposit before I block off the date?
Yes — the payment-terms template lets you spell out deposit and milestone terms as part of the signed agreement itself.
