Photographer & Videographer Insurance
Commercial General Liability built and priced for photographers and videographers, in a digital experience you'll love.
Backed by industry leaders
Why do photographers and videographers need insurance?
You haul light stands, cables, and tripods into venues, homes, and offices, then work around guests who aren't watching where they step. When someone gets hurt or something gets damaged, Commercial General Liability is the policy that answers.
It can cover the claim and the legal defense, which is why almost every venue, planner, and corporate client wants your certificate on file before they book you.

For the advice, coaching, and expertise side of your work: claims of financial loss caused by the guidance or service you provided.
See E&O Coverage →Can cover medical care and lost wages when one of your own employees, like a second shooter or assistant, is hurt on the job. Required in most U.S. states the moment you hire your first employee.
Learn More→Can cover the vehicles you drive to shoots with your gear. Your personal auto policy very likely excludes business use.
Learn More→Can cover a breach of client data or galleries, a ransomware lock-out on your files, or a payment wired to a fraudster.
Learn More→Can cover your own gear, like cameras, lenses, lighting, and drives. CGL only covers other people's property, so this is the other half of the pair.
Learn More→It depends on the shoots you do (weddings, commercial, or studio), your revenue, and where you work. The quote you see online is the real price, not an estimate we revise later.
Commercial General Liability covers other people's property, not your own. To cover your cameras, lenses, and lighting, add Commercial Property & Tools; our team of experts can help with that.
Depending on where your business is located and the work that you do, coverage limits available to you range from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000.
Your first COI is emailed the moment your payment clears. After that you can issue a new one yourself - including naming an additional insured - in about a minute, as many times as you need, at no charge.
Yes, and we don't charge for it. Add them during the application or any time after, then download the certificate showing them named.
Usually, yes. A homeowner's policy won't respond to a business claim, and a solo shooter faces the same injury and damage claims a large studio does. Most venues and clients require it in writing before you begin.
Yes. Pay the annual premium up front, or spread it across monthly installments at checkout. Either way, coverage starts as soon as the first payment is confirmed.
What real small business owners say after choosing Foxquilt.
The process was smooth and simple. In addition to that, they offered the best coverage out of all of the other companies I researched.
I've been a client at Foxquilt for the past year, having switched my business insurance over because of their affordable rates and seamless service. I recently had to file a claim and couldn't be more pleased with the care and service that Nick offered in the process. Thanks to him, things got resolved quickly and easily. Happy to have landed at Foxquilt.
