A photographer email signature that books the next shoot
Your headshot and your studio, with the studio's booking button or review badge under every photographer's name and one copyright line for the whole studio.
What to include
- Name and title, such as Lead Photographer.
- The studio name, website and a link to your own portfolio.
- A booking button or review badge for the studio.
- A copyright line in the Copyright Office's form: ©, the year and the owner.
- A headshot, so clients recognize who they are emailing.
What the US Copyright Office says about a copyright notice
These are the primary sources, quoted or summarized. Signatoro is not a law firm, and this is not legal advice.
- Circular 3: a notice has three elements, the © symbol (or "Copyright" or "Copr."), "the year of first publication of the work", and "the name of the copyright owner", as in "© 2017 John Doe". Copyright Office Circular 3
- Circular 3: "Copyright notice is optional for works published on or after March 1, 1989, unpublished works, and foreign works; however, there are legal benefits for including notice on your work." Copyright Office Circular 3
- Circular 3: a notice can keep a defendant from relying on an "innocent infringement defense", and using one needs no permission from, or registration with, the Copyright Office. Copyright Office Circular 3

Booking and reviews, under your name
A studio's signatures can carry a Calendly or Cal.com booking button, or a Google Reviews, Trustpilot or G2 badge, built into the layout as live links. The studio sets them once with its name and color, the same on every signature, and each photographer's name, title, headshot and a link of their own, such as their portfolio, are their own. The copyright line is the company footnote, on the Up to 15 plan or larger.
