How Photographers use it

1

When you book a date

The event contract and image-rights release get signed before you lock in the date, along with the deposit.

2

Before the shoot

Image-use authorizations for social media or a portfolio get signed in minutes, nothing printed on event day.

3

When you deliver the material

The signed contract backs up the delivery and usage terms, useful if any question comes up later.
