Is your studio covered?
Here at InFocus, we’re insuring a growing number of studio photographers who come to us for a competitive quote. In response to this we’ve launched a specialist policy, InFocus Studio, especially for studio photographers working in all areas. Whether you’re a fashion, commercial, industrial or social photographer, we’ll make sure you get the best quote.
Do photographers need run-off cover?
Before you close your business, make sure no-one can ruin your retirement. We normally recommend twelve months cover as a minimum and six years as the ideal.

No-one wants to be stung by a claim from their past.
