Photographer and videographer insurance in Florida
Learn about business insurance requirements and the most common policies for photographers and videographers in Florida.
Which policies are required for a photographer or videographer in Florida?
If you have a commercial lease, your property manager may require you to purchase general liability insurance, one of the most commonly purchased insurance policies by photographers and videographers in Florida. General liability coverage can protect your business from expenses associated with common mishaps, such as client property damage and injuries at your business.
Your clients may require professional liability insurance in a contract. Also called errors and omissions insurance, professional liability insurance provides financial protection if a client files a lawsuit claiming your photo or video work caused financial harm because it was late or incomplete.
State law in Florida requires every small business with four or more employees to provide workers’ compensation coverage, and business-owned vehicles must be covered by commercial auto insurance. Personal vehicles used for business purposes should have commercial coverage, as well.

What are the most common policies for a Florida photographer or videographer?
The most common policies for photographers and videographers in Florida vary depending on revenue, client contracts, partnerships, and other factors.
General liability insurance
General liability insurance is the foundation of a photographer or videographer’s business protection, with coverage that extends to client injuries, client property damage, and advertising injuries. Most commercial leases require you to have this coverage.
Professional liability insurance
Many clients require proof of professional liability insurance before entering into contracts for professional services. This policy, also called photographer liability insurance or errors and omissions insurance, can help cover legal expenses if you’re sued for unsatisfactory performance or a work mistake.
Business owner's policy (BOP)
Photographers and videographers sometimes qualify for a business owner’s policy. This package helps your business save money by bundling commercial property insurance with general liability at an affordable rate.
Florida workers' compensation
If you own a photography or video production business in Florida, you are required to carry workers’ compensation coverage if you have four or more employees. If you are a sole proprietor, the coverage is optional. However, if you trip over a light stand and break an arm at your studio, or develop a repetitive stress injury from your work, you can turn to your workers’ comp policy to help pay your medical bills and lost wages.
What do photographers and videographers in Florida pay for business insurance?
According to an analysis of Insureon applications, the median cost for photography and videography business insurance in Florida is close to the median cost you could expect to pay anywhere else in the United States. Most photographers and videographers can anticipate annual costs of:
- $425 for general liability insurance, or $500 for a BOP
