In the fashion industry, you triple your rate for a buyout normally. I have no idea how porn shoots pay.
It just seems like he is doing all the work and you are getting all the gain. It's his equipment, time and retouching time. $300 -$800 is a slap in the face imho if he is any good at all.

In porn movie or web site production, all crew people including the photographers are generally working strictly for pay and pretty much every producer or company hires them only on a work-for-hire basis for a rate x per day or half-day. A model or a director or a company can hire a talented photographer for a few hundred bucks per day, despite what price that same guy might be able to command on a fashion shoot or for some mainstream commercial job. So Katlyn, if you really want to use this friend of yours, ask him if he can work with that rate and come to a fair price on the photo retouching or better yet give it to someone else if it is too time consuming for him. Your photographer friend might just say yeah sure why not, and help you out.
