Once the photos are taken they would land and refuel. Then the pilot and i would take off and fly the plane to the homebase as a dead leg. I might try and call my local FSDO and try and see what they say.
If the PIC was a CFI would that change anything on the dead legs?

The status of the PIC isn't a factor to the FAA. You just have to show that you did fly the plane at least part of the flight and that you are considered essential crew by the PIC. It's a good idea to get him to sign the notes section of your logbook saying that you were essential crew and that you did at least some of the flying. Just do it on the first entry and they won't question the rest of them in that aircraft. The FARs on multi time are a very grey area on what multi time you can and can't log. Have your PIC put the log entry in there and his CFI number, if anyone had a question about the entry that should erase all doubt. The CFI is an all-knowing, all-seeing pilot to the FAA, so it's a good way to cover your bases.
