Secondly, you should tell the photographers what you expect of them and then tell them how much the budget is and ask them if they can do it for that. I always appreciate when someone contacts me and spells out EXACTLY what they need and EXACTLY how much money that they have to spend.

And lastly, you MUST let the photographer know that if he/she doesn't meet your expectation and delivery good product - you're not paying for it. If you don't let them know this, you could really end up with some nasty shit.

Good luck......
I know no one must ever question Dean, BUT.

He's assuming John has a clue who to choose to shoot it and what to tell them. From his original post, I never got that impression.

John, get your money, take it into the garden, make a neat pile and set light to it. You'll get more value from it that way.

Alternatively hit up Dean and ask him what you need, or Micheal Ancher. Micheal would be my choice for great soft core glamor work.
