Photographers... modified

Sorry.  I was vaguer than I meant to be.  I wasn't 
fishing for a particular photographer, but was more 
interested in how this list's graphics gurus obtain 
suitable photographers to shoot photos for websites 
they design or if they have advice on how to set up
a location shoot.  I also wasn't fishing for particular
prices, but was trying to determine a general range
in order to educate myself.  For instance, perhaps one
webmaster among us found a photography student thrilled 
and capable for $300/day plus materials and other 
webmasters found that pro photographers less than 
$1500/day weren't worth the wrapping paper of their 
Kodak film.  I'm not paying for the photographer, but 
will need to justify the expense to my client.
