I've had similar experiences with clients offering to take photos, some within their paid time, some 'in exchange' and learned my lesson fairly quickly.
1. You have no way of knowing what he does with them afterwards
2. Majority are not suitable for using on a profile
The reason for number 2 is usually that the photo is of the room, with me happening to be in it, bad angles, chin shadow, files too big to upload and I didn't know how to resize (and with all the other things unsuitable it was such a big job that paying a professional who provides good quality, and finished images ready for up load is so much easier). I also now sometimes take some of my own photos and know to get a plain background, zoom in, how to hold myself so it looks good.
