Use-case checklist
What to include in a photography booking proforma invoice
A photography proforma can support client approval while the contract, date, or usage details are still being finalized. It should distinguish the preliminary total from the invoice that actually requests the retainer.
- photographer, client, project, date, and location
- coverage, deliverables, editing, and license
- travel, products, retainer, and expected total
- availability, validity, and cancellation reference
- contract dependency and proforma statement
