Photographer using my apparel for shoot

I am face with something I am unsure about as far as what is a fair exchange.

Situation: A photographer/modeling agency wants to use my lingerie for a photo shoot which will be used as images on their websites. They are offering to 3-5 edits for my use and clothing/designer credits on their myspace websites. They don't say where the credits will appear either.

So they want me to send them my lingerie for them to use in their shoot. Should I ask for the lingerie back afterward or let them have it? My lingerie does have a high value compared to most. I don't feel like I should just be giving away my hard work lingerie, although he is a very good photographer: www.myspace.com/phoenixtphoto

I'm not sure if this is a fair exchange. Can anyone help me out here.

I haven't had an experience with that tho, i think to be fair you should have a guarantee that they will going to give it back to you and talk to them seriously about where they going to put the credits afterward. Some people borrow things and they eventually copied it and claiming that it was they product specially if the items is one of the fashion trends that may appeal to the public. You should have serious agreement with them to avoid regrets in the future.
