Hiring a photographer or videographer in Ireland

Photography and video are shot on location or in a studio and edited afterwards, so the shoot is local and the editing can happen anywhere. Agree the number of finished images or the length of the video, the formats and the delivery date before the day.

The photographer owns the copyright in the photographs unless it is assigned in writing, so agree the licence or assignment and the uses it covers. Anybody flying a drone for the shoot must be registered with the Irish Aviation Authority.

Photography and video: rules and grants in Ireland

The rules in Ireland

Most photography and video needs no licence, but flying a drone does: the operator must be registered with the Irish Aviation Authority, and the remote pilot needs the competency for the category flown.

Drone operators in Ireland register with the Irish Aviation Authority, under the EU drone rules; the registration number is shown on the drone.
Remote pilots need the training and competency the IAA sets for the category they fly in, and some areas are restricted geographic zones.
Ask for the operator registration number and check it with the IAA before the shoot.

How many edited images, or how long a video, and in which formats?
