Contracts for Creators

Protect your work. Elevate your professionalism. Grow your business.

At Light Syndicate Academy, we believe creative freedom thrives best when backed by clear, confident agreements. That’s why we created the most comprehensive, photographer-focused contract library available—built by photographers, for photographers.

Why These Contracts Matter

Legal templates can be found anywhere—but most are vague, outdated, or written by people who don’t understand creative work. These contracts are different: they’re built from real-world experience, tailored specifically for photographers and visual creatives, and designed to save you time, stress, and money.

Whether you’re shooting a wedding, licensing your images to a brand, or collaborating on an exhibition—these agreements have your back.

Perfect for beginners and professionals alike — no legal jargon, just real-world protection.

João Carlos, Founder

“After 25+ years as a photographer, educator, and artist, I’ve been through it all — missed payments, image misuse, last-minute cancellations. These contracts are the tools I wish I had earlier. They’ve helped me set boundaries, stay professional, and protect my art.”
