Insurance for amateur photographers?
You love taking photos, perhaps spending hours to snap the perfect shot or just simply capturing the joy of life from behind the lens. You’ve invested your hard-earned money into buying the best photographic equipment you can in order to achieve the best results possible.
It may be “just a hobby”, but if being an amateur photographer is important to you, how would you feel – and how would you cope if your valuable kit was stolen or damaged? Could you afford to replace it?
What if you were blamed for someone tripping over your equipment or damage to property? Even if you’re not being paid for your work, you could be held personally liable for an injury caused by the activities you carry out.
