What if this was my dick?

Prop: Besson MEHA Trumpet.

Location: Garden District, New Orleans, Louisiana.

Lighting Setup: Two light setup. Shot in the dark. Key light is an AlienBees B800 strobe, gelled orange, shot through a tight grid, high camera left, aimed directly at our lovely model’s face, through an open doorway. Edge light is another AlienBees B800 strobe, gelled aquamarine, shot through through barn doors closed just enough to remove flare, aimed almost directly at the camera to skim along the hallway walls. Triggered with PocketWizards.

Note to our viewers: We sincerely hope that our twelve month absence from our regularly scheduled dick pics has been worth the wait. We started this glorious project in Portland, Oregon, and we will see it through in our new home of New Orleans, Louisiana. It will no longer be a monthly project. Being totally honest, it may even be a long time between posts! But rest assured, the grand culmination will be glorious. Perhaps even a super sexy calendar.
