Jennifer Colli = Texas Hotstuff!

Okay, I can hear some of you saying it… Prince, Prince, how did you light this woman? How did you find her? Where can I get one? Okay here goes. How did I light her you ask? My cool cats over at Linco Inc makers/distributors of the Britek Lighting system have a tool called Cool Fluorescent Lighting. Its a daylight colored light. Its brighter than standard light bulbs, it runs cool to the touch, and its very bright. I used one of there strongest lights the PE9110 (a bit pricey at $500 but worth its weight… why? No light meter needed, plug n play, what you see is what you get, finnish a shoot in 10 minutes vs 30 minutes.) with (4) 240 watt bulbs and a 40×40 inch softbox. The light from these things is the best of all the Britek gear. Linco Inc should actually be congratulated for the fine job they’ve done in making such a useful and durable product. The only thing intimidating was the transport of this hulking system so I brought along my best assistant and soon to be best photog Larry Land. Besides the big 15lbs light, softbox and stand, I also brought along a smaller continuous fluorescent light  (CFL) the PE9060 (a more reasonable $150.00 or just $400 in a kit with two including stands and 32″ softboxes). I cross lit the scene and used the fastes lens I own – the old faithful 85mm F1.4 Minolta wonder portrait lens that fits my Sony Alpha A900… wanna see more including lighting setup photos?

Just a word… hooked up with C.H.M. again… this time they sent me up an up and coming handsome young “Brit” by the name of David McIntosh.

Don’t ring a bell yet… dont worrie – it will when good ole Hollywood gets a look at this kid! Well here’s the scoop… he’s 22 years old, 6′0ft tall, from Britian (obviously), has a killer model look, (appearantly a killer model girlfriend – Teca Thompson, her resume includes Maxim and other global magazines), he’s been in the British Royal Marines since age 16 and is was a boxing champ! Still not enough? Try this on for size… he’s currently shooting the second season of British Gladiator – the British version of American Gladiator! THIS DUDE IS AWESOME!

I just went out to a famous beach in California. Which one… not allowed to say… why? Because magazines love creative beach images of young killer guys like McIntosh… especially since this was his first shoot like this! More on this soon…

By the way…. the entire shoot was done with a Sony Alpha A900, a 5n1 ebay reflector, a single LumoPro LP120 flash and an “Organic Actuated Duo Pod” instead of a lightstand – otherwise known as my Assistant Larry Land-Harper!

Special Thanks to:
W. Lestingi for video taping and riding a scooter 79 miles!
D. Ahola for… ??? … Bringing down the baby oil!
Teca Thompson for encouragement, great energy, a watchful eye and keeping your guy from being lonely!

The Spread will be HOT!!!

Final Note: TECA WHEN ARE WE GONNA SHOOT!!!
