LLC for a photography business

An LLC lets you sign client contracts and take payment as a business, with your personal assets kept separate if a job goes wrong.

Your images

Copyright in your photos starts with you. If you want the LLC to own them, that takes a written assignment. Many photographers keep it personal and license images through the company.

Sales tax

Some states tax prints and some tax photography services. Check yours before you set your prices.

Questions

Do I still need a contract with clients?

Yes. An LLC limits who is liable, and a contract sets what you owe the client. They do different jobs.
