About the Photography Invoice Generator
A photography invoice has to do something most invoices do not: define what the client is allowed to do with the work. The shoot fee buys the photographer’s time; the licence buys the right to use the images, for a purpose, a territory and a term. Invoicing for the first and not the second is how a photographer discovers their images on a billboard.
This builder separates them. The shoot fee, assistant, studio hire, travel and retouching go in as lines with days and hours as units. The licence goes in as its own line with the grant spelled out — what it covers, where and for how long — and a standing term reserving copyright until payment clears.
For wedding and portrait work, where the licence question barely arises, the same builder handles deposits, balance-before-delivery terms and album extras.

Frequently asked questions
The purpose (advertising, editorial, internal), the media (web, print, social, out of home), the territory (UK, worldwide) and the term (one year, perpetual). Anything left unsaid tends to be assumed in the client’s favour.
In the UK and most of Europe the photographer does, unless it is assigned in writing. An invoice line granting a licence is not an assignment, which is exactly why the distinction is worth making on the document.
Almost always — it is the standard protection against a cancelled date you can no longer sell. Raise a deposit invoice on booking and a final invoice before delivery, with the deposit deducted.
By the hour or per image, on its own line. Bundling it into the shoot fee makes it impossible to charge for the third round of revisions that the first two did not include.
