Ask them how much is the least they would accept in payment for the negative, before you have the picture taken. Go and ask several photographers. If they say "I don't sell negatives," offer $10,000. He will probably say OK. Then tell him you will be asking other photographers, and so, what is the least he would accept? You could also mention that if you can't get the negative, you will scan the photo into your computer. The quality won't be as good as with a negative, and folks might think it is the fault of the photographer.
