Frequently Asked Questions

Is a photography and videography agreement enforceable in Kenya?
Yes, under the Law of Contract Act (Cap. 23) and the Copyright Act (Cap. 130). The agreement is particularly important for commercial work where usage rights, exclusivity, and IP ownership are at stake.
What usage rights should a commercial photography agreement specify?
Specify: the permitted media (print, digital, broadcast, outdoor advertising), the geographic territory, the duration of the licence, and whether the usage is exclusive. Each additional category of usage typically commands a higher fee.
What happens if a wedding photographer fails to deliver in Kenya?
The client can claim damages for breach of contract under the Law of Contract Act (Cap. 23), including the cost of hiring another photographer and the value of the lost memories. Courts have awarded damages in such cases. A clear contract with deliverable specifications and deadlines makes the claim straightforward.
