Tax Deductions for Donations to a Non-Profit


As a professional photographer, I have been asked to donate my services to a non-profit organization. They have asked me to photograph products that they sell on a website. My understanding at this point is that I can't deduct the fair market value of my pictures. Is this correct?

What about deductions for the use of my equipment (ie: strobe lights, camera, memory cards, etc.)? I know I'm allowed to take mileage deductions for the use of my vehicle. Can I also take deductions for the use of my equipment? Thanks for any help you can offer!
