Red flag.

Draw up a contract, do your job, and get paid. You're worth it. He knows it. He's trying to use you.

Otherwise, drop this fuck like a hot rock and adamantly refuse to have any business dealings with him. If he hems and haws over it, sign nothing and wait until the day before and then tell him he's not worth your time, just to show him that there are bigger fish in the sea willing to snack on him. This guy sounds like he's just waiting to milk you for all you're worth; what I just suggested is the only thing this type understands. Do NOT rely on goodwill or past acquaintance or anything of the kind- draw up a legal contract and hold this bastard to it- hold him to every last dotted i and crossed t.

He sounds like a real piece of work; I've dealt with this type before, and he'll try to fuck you, contract or no. He'll wrap his arm around your shoulders and tell you what a good buddy you are. Don't believe it for a skinny second. At least with a contract you have the possibility of recovering the value of your time, plus punitive damages, which is exactly what he'll sue you for when the photos don't come out absolutely 110% perfect according to him- which of course they never do in the first place.

I wouldn't touch this sort with a ten foot pole for any reason. The way you describe him, he sounds like a social predator, or as you yourself put it, a sociopath. He's looking to fuck someone over, and you're next in line.

Stay. The hell. AWAY.
