How to use an Australian photography invoice template

A photography template should identify the shoot, deliverables, usage rights, retainer and GST status. Use it for weddings, portraits, events, commercial shoots, real estate and videography.

Fields to keep in the template

  • Photographer, videographer or studio name, ABN and payment details.
  • Client, project, campaign, event or PO reference.
  • Shoot date or range, location, venue and package.
  • Edited image count, gallery, prints, album, video length, reels, raw footage or licence deliverables.
  • Usage rights, territory, term, exclusivity and delivery date.
  • Retainer, travel, studio hire, assistant, GST if registered and balance due.

Copyright and usage rights

Copyright protection is automatic in Australia for original images and video once recorded. The template should summarise agreed usage rights and match the contract or licence.

GST and retainers

Use Tax Invoice wording only when GST-registered. Show retainers as payments or credits against the full package, not as a silent reduction.
