And for those who can name Stuart, who are the artists for the five, ten, and twenty-dollar bills?
My other answer for the "you should do it for the exposure" types would be to ask how they heard of the artist. Because whatever the answer to that, it's likely to lead to "So, you want me work for free so more people will see my name and ask for freebies. No." (If it's not because they saw the artist's work elsewhere, the artist doesn't need "exposure." If it is, "exposure" isn't going to lead to a paying gig.)
I also suspect it would be interesting to answer those requests with "what sort of exposure are you talking about? How will you make sure that people who see the work know my name?" Because the person who's trying that on isn't likely to tell everyone "Jenny Artist took wonderful photos of my wedding, would you like to see them?" or put "photo by Artist's Name" in middle-sized friendly letters under the wedding picture on their desk or their parents' wall. Book covers list the author; the cover artist's name might be on the title page, where people thinking "nice drawing of a castle" in the bookstore won't notice it.
