[QUOTE="hark, post: 206636, member: 13196"] Since you asked for help in saying no, it is obvious you don't want to create the end result. [B]Did you know what the client wanted before you took your photos?[/B] :confused: In any case, why not try to help the client/friend get what she wants even if you aren't the one who does all the work? [B]This is what I'd do:[/B] I'd tell the client that photos are copyrighted and I won't infringe on someone else's copyrights. Plus creating this type of final result isn't something I do. HOWEVER, I'd be happy to photograph the people, supply the photos, and direct the client/friend to a web site that specializes in creating this type of project. Here is one I found but I'm sure there must be many more. [URL="http://www.arnoldcreative.net/montage.html"]Photo Montage | Arnold Creative Services[/URL] If you accepted the task knowing ahead of time what the client/friend wanted, then perhaps you SHOULD follow through with it. No one wants to hire a photographer who can't deliver the goods.... That would REALLY affect your reputation far more than you following through with everything yourself. [/QUOTE]
