If they were willing to pay, I’d do it and consider it a point of pride of making good photos that are outside my norm. But that’s just me, I enjoy challenging myself and trying different things with different people.
Are you really so busy every day that an hour or two long shoot is going to ruin other shoots opportunities? Must be nice but also sounds exhausting if you are that busy.
Ha ha. So this makes me wonder why even mention their look? Unless of course they did have a look you prefer so you’d feel like a 6 hour (4 to drive 2 to shoot) would be worth it. I don’t think I’d drive for 4 hours to do a photoshoot unless the money was really good. And if it was, I wouldn’t care about looks I’d be enjoying the good pay.
I think this should have been mentioned in the original post because a 4 hour drive for a model you aren’t that enthusiastic about is very different from a 30 minute drive to the same person.
