I have a friend who is starting a movie business. I have a private pilot's license and can rent aircraft from the flight school. I would like to help him out with some aerial photography shots, but I know I cannot legally charge to take him up to take movies.

I was told that I could, however, charge him for the resulting pictures and everything would be legitimate. Is there any truth to this claim?

Also, would it change anything if he were riding and taking the pictures?

At very least, would he be allowed to pay for half the rental costs?
