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.

Why Choose Amateur Photographers Insurance from Aaduki?
With over two decades of experience in photography insurance, we understand your passion for image making – and the risks that come with it. Our dedicated team are familiar with photographic equipment and the way you use it, so we can provide insurance advice that makes a genuine difference.
Aaduki is part of the Partners& group – a multi award winning insurance broker. We’re real people who love what we do, we’re passionate about all things photography and we care about the advice we provide.
We are approved and recommended by The Societies of Photographers. The UK’s largest and most influential photographic trade body.
We aim to keep insurance for amateur photographers affordable.
You can tailor the cover to suit your needs and can insure your equipment on a “new for old” basis, or to keep costs down, insure for the cost of second-hand replacements (subject to the amount you’ve chosen to insure for).
You can extend cover on your equipment whilst away from home to any territory worldwide (except where the UK Foreign Office advises against all but essential travel, and specifically excluded countries). By designing your cover in this way, you can keep your premium cost down by not having to insure all items away from your home all of the time if you do not need such a wide scope of cover.
Yes, depending upon the type of policy, the amount of cover you have and the terms and conditions applicable, including whether you have cover for items left in your vehicle overnight we can offer a 0% interest direct debit on our policies, helping you to spread the cost of your cover at no additional cost. We will explain the extent of cover and the terms. Your policy documents will specify the details.
If you decide to turn your hobby into your day job, then talk to us about upgrading to professional photographers insurance to protect against the additional risks running a business brings.
As long as you’re not being hired, paid or rewarded for your photography, then amateur photographers insurance will cover you. If you receive any form of payment for your services, then you should consider professional photographers insurance
