Not expecting, no. Although it would be greatly appreciated if you could. What if I sweeten the deal a little? I’ll pay double your usual rate and provide food and transportation to and from the shooting site.

Double rate won’t be necessary. I have nothing planned. I can do 9am on Monday, but I will have to be gone by midday. Is that enough time for what you require?

And where will the shoot be? Do you have a location, or would you prefer I rent a studio? I also need more information on what kind of photos you’d like.

More information will be provided when you get here. I have a location for the shoot, but I’m afraid it has to remain confidential until you’re on the way here.

A confidentiality agreement is attached.

I’ll have my lawyer look it over this afternoon and get back to you.

If I cannot know the location, then how am I supposed to get to the shoot?

A driver will come to collect you from your address.

And there’s no rush. As long as you have it signed before you get in the car, it’s fine.

I’m afraid not. I would prefer to be collected from a neutral location, given the general secrecy. I’m uncomfortable sharing my address.

Don’t worry. You’ll have it back. I’ve attached a copy of my basic contract to this email; please read it over and let me know if there’s anything you’d like to negotiate.
