Help needed asap!

It sounds like you keep drawing from that Texas Photographers Correctional Penal Colony located just outside Uvalde.

I sometimes advise painters to hire professional photographers but it's usually for purely portrait type work. This sounds like very figurative stuff and therefore more subject to canibalization.

My advise would be to lose the hired photo dude and photograph it yourself. Hire / procure a gofer (not golfer, those guys are worthless) assistant. Direct the gofer to do all the costume adjustments that you see through the lens. You obviously have this vision of what you want in your mind so just think through your camera settings beforehand and do the deed. Your needs will probably be more compositionally specific than camera specific. This is better seen through the lens.

PS: I'm becoming completely exhausted trying to keep up with your schedule. I'm going to have to nap the rest of the morning.
