mkweaver has the best solution I have read in here and this would be the most diplomatic way of addressing the issue to me.
Take advantage of the situation, find some courses or software/hardware that you need and don\'t be shy (as your employer isn\'t). Tell them that whatever you would like from above choices is something that you have been wanting to do and you will be happy to do the photo sessions if they can cover the costs of your choice/s..
Win Win
If the Employer isn\'t interested then you can politely tell him/her that you have invested a lot of time in your equipment and you are not comfortable with doing work for free.
