Not according to Parkinson's Law, work expands with the more people you have to do it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson's_law

I hope you were using a standard APA or ASMP contract. Things must be spelled out clearly.

We do not yet have a signed contract. I will be using a standard contract template, IF this goes forward. I'm still waiting to hear from the customer that A: they're still ok with the fee I proposed, and B: they understand the meaning of the scope of work they're proposing, and they need to either revise their budget or change the scope of the work to get the work done in the time frame they're proposing.

Suggest C: they specify the working relationship and specific expectations of you and the other photographer.

You need to ensure that the job goes good for both the client and yourself... and that your performance is not subjected to interference by the other photographer and that you are not held liable for the actions/product of the other photographer.

Keep your standards high and don't work for clients that don't appreciate you.
