This review is from: Wedding and Portrait Photographers' Legal Handbook (Paperback)
I got a lot out of this book, including what I consider a decent contract for my clients. Thanks for all the examples and the reasoning behind your decisions, authors! It was worth the money.

Great book and a great asset to my business!,
By R0814p (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wedding and Portrait Photographers' Legal Handbook (Paperback)
This book is the best on this subject! I've found it extremely valuable. It's very well written and very easy for non-legal professionals to understand. The sample forms are fully explained and are very easy to alter to my business' specific needs. I'm also better able to explain my contracts to my clients!
I think this is a must have for any professional photographer who doesn't have the option of having legal representation on retainer.
