Non-Disclosure Agreement for Photographers
NDAs for photographers, without the lawyer bill.
Sign confidentiality agreements before product reveals, private events, and pre-launch brand work — with a portfolio carve-out so you can still show the work later.
Free to start — No credit card required
Photographers see things before the public does — unreleased products, prototype packaging, celebrity events. A short NDA with a portfolio carve-out lets you take the job without locking yourself out of showing the work after launch.
Why photographers need a non-disclosure agreement
- Brand and product clients now require NDAs before pre-launch shoots.
- Portfolio carve-outs preserve case-study rights post-launch.
- Survival periods cap how long secrecy obligations last.
Common scenarios
Pre-launch product shoots
Shooting unreleased hardware, packaging, or apparel that brands want kept under wraps until launch day.
Private celebrity events
Engagements, weddings, or family portraits where image release is tightly controlled.
Confidential commercial work
Campaigns shot months before publication where leaks would hurt the brand's launch window.
Clauses to pay attention to
Common questions
- Will an NDA stop me from posting the work later?
- Not if it has a portfolio carve-out — and most photography NDAs should. The carve-out usually permits sharing post-launch, sometimes with prior approval.
- Do I need a separate NDA for retouchers?
- Usually yes. Either flow them down under your NDA as permitted parties, or have them sign a back-to-back NDA with you covering the same material.
- How long should the NDA last?
- 12–24 months from disclosure is standard. Indefinite confidentiality on dated product info is overreach — push back on perpetual terms.
