Hi everyone.
I need some advice. I'm something of a new guy at this, so if any of this seems elementary, my apologies in advance.
For my current photo project, I need to take many photos of L.A.'s freeways, from above (like from a parking garage or office building). I contacted the manager of a particular mall here in LA to ask about getting a couple of hours access on the top floor of his mall's garage early one weekend morning, because they have a great view of the 405 freeway. He suggested we barter for access. His barter was: 3 months unlimited access for "general photos" of the mall, to be hung in their corporate offices.
How do I approach this? Have any of you ever bartered photos for access? I'm a little leery of this arrangement, since I don't really need 3 months' access and I'm holding down a day job, with little enough time to devote to my own projects. I suppose it comes down to how badly I want my photos from the garage, but I also don't want to be taken advantage of. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
